Mike - forgive me, but you and I clearly have opposite ideas about 
this discussion.   I thought the goal was to charter a working group 
and let the technical discussions be made there as is the W3C policy. 
I see now that this email list has become a research discussion of 
topics relating to rules (which is what I thought rdf-rules was for) 
and has drifted from any discussion of charters and the like.
  As such, I will leave the discussion and check back in when a new 
draft of a charter is circulated.
