I thought of something else (after I hit 'post', of course):

The old English Catholic Latin service (pre-Henry VIII) differed in some respects from the old (Tridentine) Latin Rite. It was called the Sarum Rite (or Use).

Pope St. Pius V said in Quo Primum that any rite with 200 years' regular usage could be presented to Rome for approval. The Sarum Rite was used for centuries - from about 663 until suppressed by Edward VI (though briefly revived by Queen Mary).

It would be a Very Good Thing if Benedict XVI saw fit to approve a revival of the Sarum Rite.
