I have a problem with the plain, ordinary meaning of "case" in contrast to "use case" being defined as: ...captures all the different ways a specification would be used... I think we want to encourage publication of a set of use cases that is sufficient to justify the existence of a new standard and all the work that goes into creating its specification. If there are more use cases beyond the published ones, that's fine, but I don't think that the QA or W3C needs are served by suggesting that *all* uses need to be enumerated. I prefer: a specification mechanism or technique that conveys the range of different ways a specification would be used... Notice that my preferred verbiage grants some value to the attempt to convey "all the ways" but allows the sufficiency standard to prevail. .................David Marston
