Wake Turbulence created by the A380

What thoughts do the pprune community have in relation to the wake turbulence that the A380 will itself create? What implications this might have on separation times and distances for other aircraft?

I seem to recollect reading somewhere that the wake turbulence of significantly smaller aircraft (757?) were somewhat underestimated at the time of development, and that it's a complex issue to say the least.

What happend when the first 747's took to the skies?
