For years EMI engineers have "sprinkled" decoupling caps
throughout a pwb (especially in blank areas) to dampen
resonances. A process also described by Howard Johnson.

Joel-

I've changed the title of this thread so as to not have it mixed in with
the other ongoing discussion.

Check out the following two papers (and perhaps several others) on
Istvan's web site that deal with the issue of controlled ESR decaps.
