I wasn't watching Bluecoat at that time so I don't know what the outcome
was. I am aware of a number of such task or function analyses, but few
of them are widely available. Jennifer Wilson, one of my current
graduate students, has reviewed several and from them prepared sort of a
composite functional analysis as part of her thesis research. It is on
the web at
http://www.orst.edu/~wilsojen/THESIS/func_decomp.html
At least two of the analyses she based hers on are listed.
Hope that helps. Feedback is welcome.
