I don't have any large problem with any of the other proposed changes
to the experience system.  I do have a problem with this.

If some player comes up with a clever way to kill a monster and go
up 1/2 a level in one go, I think it is great.  If it doesn't require
much cleverness, then the monster was worth too much.

But 1/2 level monsters are pretty rare and usually at the end of quests,
anyway:  a nice reward for doing the quest.
