Agreed. The paragraph after the "keyword" rif:standardForward is first used says:

<<Editor's Note: Name of the standard CR strategy to be discussed and agreed upon... standardForward used here as a placeholder.>>

I did not use rif:forwardChaining as a place holder, because there are many variants to forward chaining. The one we selected seems to be the simplest and (maybe?) the most standard one: hence standardForward.

But I am not really attached to any special name, esp. for a flag for use in basically unreadable XML documents: if somebody insisted, rif:whatTheF*** would work just as fine with me :-)
