One thing I have not yet mentioned about this might be interesting.  At 
Sharingwood, when we were designing our Commonhouse we discovered, 
among many things, that we had no real expereience doing group design 
work together.  The original site design was done by 2-3 people and so 
getting 24 adults working together on designing the commonhouse was a 
new experience.  In the Danish model, you get that designing together 
experience in abundance.  There is definately a great deal of value in 
this as far as communication, collaborative process etc.  Doing a site 
design for lots gives you some of that, but not the same level.
