Abstract
The model I recently proposed for the structure of quasars (astro-ph/0008064) claims to unify all the emission, absorption and reflection phenomenology of quasars and AGN, and so is heavily overconstrained and readily tested. Here I concentrate on how the model has performed against tests since publication - with many of the tests being reported at this meeting. I then begin to explore how these and future tests can discriminate between this wind model and 3 well-defined alternatives.
