One reason I would like to make 5 and 6
distinct is that I think I combined symposium would be swamped by 
standard incommensurate types.  As far as I can tell(?) - quasicrystal
crystallography (especially the software) is still surrounded by some mysticism?

Also, have put back in a 7a - as I think there is a distinction in high-throughput
crystallography - and the skills/methods/software in reporting the results
to those (chemists/biologists) who generate the samples?  This is the type of
talk that John Huffman and others could give some good talks on?

Modified list (which of course can be expanded and trimmed down as required -
though would it hurt to have a big list as a starting bid to the Florence
organisers?):

1. Advances in computational methods for protein crystallography
2. Advances in computational methods for powder diffraction
3. Advances in computational methods for small molecule crystallography
4. Problems and solutions in programming robust CIF into crystallographic software
5. Computational problems and solutions for quasicrystal crystallography
6. Advances in computational methods incommensurate structures
7. Computational solutions for high-throughput crystallography
7a. Innovations in computing and reporting for service based crystallography
8. Applying non-crystallographic algorithms to crystallography
??? - others?
