I'd say if it sells less, it's up the River Faeces, and rather oarless.

GURPS is rules lite? Je ne crois pas! We're talking bastard son of RQ and Champions, here... (with a venerable old grandfather in TFT).
I think there has been a trend toward setting-specific rules, rather than (necessarily) rules-lite games, GURPS would be the notable exception to that, of course.

I think a perfectly feasible soluition is to simply write what the 'model' ability to have for the task is, or simply to briefly indicate what's involved, and let the ref. judge the Appropriateness of the Ability the player decides to throw at the problem.
