We have aggressively cut away things that we believe are not necessary
to when making a high-level decision to start work or not. Hopefully we
have cut away the right things.

Yes, we believe that most AC Reps want to see a general architecture
diagram, but don't want to be bothered with the details (as it's the job
of the Working Group to make sure to get that right).

The theory goes that the details of having a repository and a verifier
in the diagram wouldn't cause the W3C AC Rep to change their mind about
the validity of the architecture and the resulting work at W3C.

The details are important for building the system, but they are
marginally useful for someone that is trying to decide if they should
vote to start the work at W3C or not.
