One way or another, presenting Maxwells Equations in the form of physical quantities is a goal of Quan.

This is a worthy goal. As a biased modern differential geometer, my view is that this would be a lot easier if you were to write Maxwell's equations with respect to the Minkowski space-time metric and using differential forms. A lot of stuff fits together in a more logical consistent fashion when you do this.

Of course whether it has a practical use is another matter :-)

Yeah, but who cares? I like the spirit. But this is probably waaaaay off topic for this newsgroup.
