Re: [TED] Action-188, ISSUE: production rule systems have "difficulty" with recursive rules in RIF Core

I agree that RIF Core should not support actions.  We'll have a PR or ECA or Reactive Rule dialect that does.

I do not agree that RIF Core is empty.  I think it is positive non-recursive slotted Horn with some kind of XML schema data typing.

There may be languages (like Michael's aggregegate-free SQL example) that can't even meet this "dirt simple" level of conformance.  So be it.  We can't make everyone happy.  We should try to make our own constituents happy, and one of those constituents is certainly the business rule community.

Cheers,
