Right. After my post, I did a little research. There really doesn't seem to be any good reason to use Roth as a college saving vehicle . In fact, the Vanguard site implies that it's not a good idea at all.
OTOH, if you want to save for grandkids' retirement, it's appropriate...and what lucky grandkids.
