So assume they finally hammer out terms with Ecuador so they can interview him. Let's assume the outcome of the interview is that the prosecutor formally charges him. (as everybody expects, because there's been no suggestion Assange has cast iron evidence that could radically change the prosecution's view that it's worth bringing to trial) What happens then? Are we genuinely expecting him to walk out accompanied by a couple of police officers and get on a plane to face trial in Sweden? Or do we expect him to stay put, perhaps issuing new legal challenges claiming there were elements of the questioning process that weren't conducted under Swedish law and so the original warrant is now invalid...

Regardless of whether one of five Swedish Supreme court justices chose to write a dissenting opinion criticising Ms Ny's handling of the case, do we really think that the questioning in the embassy is going mean Assange suddenly stops doing everything in his power to avoid standing trial in Sweden?
