Codename(s)

I think its important to define codename(s) for the standard(s) this 
group is trying to create. These names need not be the name(s) of the 
final standard(s), but we need something to work with. Since these names 
are not to be considered final, I don't think we need to worry too much 
about getting them right. That can be left for later.

Maybe we could decide tomorrow how many codenames we need, and what they 
should be. Here are my suggestions.:

I think we need to define /two/ standards, since we are considering two 
different scenarios:

Scenario 1: An interchange format that can be used by applications that 
CREATE scores. This will be a development of MusicXML. Suggested 
codename: *MintXML* (Music INTerchange XML) -- I'd like to keep the look 
and feel of the parent standard's name. Also, I like the hidden 
reference to indivisible /*int*/s... :-)

Scenario 2: A score format that can be USED by various applications 
(printing, on the web etc.). I think this should be SVG extended to 
contain MIDI information. Suggested codename: *SVG-MIDI*.

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

All the best,
James
