(TFT) TFT, 2nd edition ?

I've been writing a set of TFT with Skills rules for quite some time, actually since first playing in 1979. I've concentrated on putting them on paper in the last few months, and I'm only a week or two from completion.
This idea is exactly the way I went, with Sword 1, Sword 2, etc... Also, you have the option of adding your Skill points to your Attack Roll, to your Damage Roll, or to one Parry (yes, I also have a Parry). 

I'll be glad to share my rules with anyone who's interested.  Just email me.

What I would've liked (and what I've been working to create - very slowly)
is a system where you choose your initial stats, much like TFT ... but then you would put your experience into your talents. You would buy your talents at a skill level ( ie, Sword 0 ) and then, as you get experience, you could 
learn Sword 1, Sword 2, etc.  These would be bonuses which you might
apply to your attack roll (or damage roll - for example, a character with
Sword 2 could apply 1 point to his attack roll and then apply 1 point to his 
damage roll ).

Dan,
What do you mean "a skill-based system instead of an attribute-based one"? 
Doesn't TFT have a good system of talents ?

My personal thought:  I don't want character classes (which are too
limiting), but I do like the idea of prerequistes for talents and spells.
Basically, I LOVE the freedom of character development in TFT (in contrast 
to D&D), but it does seem a bit more realistic to require progressive
training in an area of specialization.  This already exists somewhat with
TFT talents, but I think it could be extended to some spells too.

Another thought:  revised rules for healing and death.  And a healing

spell

that everyone could agree on.
