+1 all above.

+0  I think these could wait until a later version. I know many 
marketing strategies use them, but many don't; essentially they're an 
optional add-on (IMO there's an argument that they're like tariff 
barriers -- somebody starts, then everybody does it, and it becomes 
cruft that we all pay for without good reason).

I suggest putting minimal resources into it, as a socket that the 
vendor must provide most of the code/structure for.

+1 All above.

+0  Redundant? What's the difference between this and the Use Case 
that's third from the top, that says:

+1 All above.

+0  The two above: would it be possible to avoid the opening double 
negative, say by using a single positive, such as "Allow multiple 
levels..." and "Allow the implementation..."  ?
