>Those dark areas sure look like oceans to me.

Still not clear. The operating assumption since July is
that those dark features are craters, relaxed. No one
since the orbit insertion is thinking that there is 
liquid on the surface, but let's see after more
enhancement of the images and data from the 
other instruments.

BTW: The Cassini "Saturn Universe" Workshop was
in Capri a few weeks ago. A good and intense time was 
had by all...You can  read the titles on the link below.. 
At some point soon, we'll have the presentations online.
