Re: shapes-ACTION-5: New wiki page for requirements (probably only with a few to start)

Looking at the page, it seems to me that the four "approved" 
requirements are all what we're calling "meta-" requirements at DCMI - 
they are about the functionality of the validation solution, not about 
requirements for validating data. We might want to keep this in mind as 
we go about classifying the requirements. (Yes, I know "meta-" is 
terrible -- all suggestions for what to call these are welcome.)
