Accepting the grove concept would certainly make the other pieces we need to consider easier to specify as well. ESIS has been a weakly defined concept for some time and has not given us the required precision in many cases. That is why we have heard the term "beyondESIS" or "superESIS" too often. I think this also establishes a precedent that will serve the W3C members well in other applications and language work if adopted. What are the objections? len
