Default Soyuz station flights

Okay.

http://www.spacetoday.net/Summary/2078 says there'll be two tourists,
going on Soyuz, one next year and one in '05. It's also worth noting
that the Russians reached an agreement to fly a Malaysian cosmonaut in
2005; http://www.spacetoday.net/Summary/1837

A couple of idle thoughts -

I'd assume the Malaysian would fly as a "tourist" - third seat - plus
the taxi crew; is it plausible the Russians would be willing to have him
as crew to free up another $20m slot?

2004 April Two-man ISS rotation (Exp. 9 up) & ESA astro
2004 Oct. Two-man taxi plus US tourist
2005 April Two-man taxi plus US tourist (?)
2005 Oct. Two-man taxi plus Malaysian (?)
2006 Early Two-man taxi plus ...
2006 Late Two-man taxi plus ...
2007 Early Two-man taxi plus ...
2007 Late Two-man taxi plus ...

The article comments they're selling two seats in 2006-7, which fills up
the additional slots - are these going to be ESA? I assume someone's
already down to fill them...
