Maggie, One reply so far. Will let you see what we eventually produce.

I would be very interested in seeing the document you eventually produce. We too have considered using this approach. It's quite difficult to design a questionnaire that elicits the kind of answers you actually want, so I'd also be interested in whether it works!
