I usually try, in a noble and selfless (or possibly, lazy) way not to 
make myself into a bottleneck for such things. As I wrote my comments,
I will admit thinking to myself "hmm Jeremy would have more polished
thoughts on a few of these things" (eg. datatyping; my I18N concerns re 
having a property datamodel without language-neutral property
description language; corner cases such as rdf:_1 as property name,
etc).

Seems OK but I prefer the method below.

Yup. I encourage any commentators to take a look at the public
www-multimodal archives to see what previous folks might have said
(these are linked from the Status section of the draft).

I think 'vote' is too formal, but I think a summary of the comments that
have come in from SWIG folks would be useful. We don't have a very
formal notion of SWIG member beyond 'someone on this mailing list' so
voting seems to strong a notion. But I can try to summarise themes etc
and listen to concerns.

BTW if anyone on this list is looking for student projects for early
2005, I do reccomend considering this topic. In particular the event 
triggering business could be interesting to prototype on top of an
RDF-based storage backend (eg. Jena, Redland etc.).

Yep. 

One pattern we might fall into is that the WG might say "OK you've
persuaded us that RDF is interesting and potentially usable here, but we
don't have any WG members who are very familiar with it.". This has
happened with other WGs. So if folks here do care about seeing the 
relationship between DPF and RDF elaborate on, consider making some time
to help work through the details.
