Also, as for RTKLite, I've had many daydreams about making just that. It would require a bit of plotting primitives, and it may even be a good idea to start the book with a "primitive alphabet" for the user to memorize first, but I definitely think it would be possible to create a list using the same method of progression as RTK but only covering 1000-1100 kanji. RTKLite2 would require a few backpeddles to cover some missed primitives and/or rehash some primitives that are introduced in the first half but are mostly used in the second, but I don't think it would tax the learner much.
