The new Oct 01 edition of Record Collector (with Frank Zappa on the cover) has a really interesting 8 page piece about some of the possibilities existing in the Rough Trade and Warner archives for a future, "proper" Smiths compilation.
I can't be arsed transcribing it, but it's definitely well worth a read. The main crux of the feature is by Simon Goddard, and the rest is padded out with the usual boxout nonsense of choice quotes, top 10 songs that should have been on the recent Very Best Of, etc, etc, etc.

How a box-set of Manchester’s finest sons would take shape
Given the continued influence, industry name-checking and media interest in the Smiths, an in-depth anthology or box set of some form seems not so much an inevitability as a necessity. Even Johnny Marr has commented “I expect there will be a box set eventually”, and the band’s archives are a veritable Aladdin’s Cave of unreleased booty; rare B-sides yet to be included on compilations, missing BBC session tracks and even a handful of mythical, possibly even fictional, out-takes.
