Thank you for your response. You probably have a lot of company. I'm hoping that there are enough people that like using X-ray or would like using better created X-ray to form a community.

I agree that's a problem. I probably encounter it less because I've been reading mostly non-fiction. It is unfortunate that wikipedia and other wiki or wiki like sites are so prone to put spoilers in their initial summaries.
I hoping that there will eventually be a repository of community generated and polished worddumb-custom-xray.json files available that will result in excellent XRAY.*.asc files. It will certainly challenging to get something like that up and running.
The motivation for this poll is to find out whether a potential community exists. The thread for the plugin has over 700 posts and over 500,000 views, so I was hoping for a larger response to the poll. I did expect that most mobilereaders would not be xray users.
