Good point. I'd say original purpose was a memo on how to put  
government data on the Web, so data.gov.* sites (preferably using data  
from agencies in a federated way and a Linked Data approach) could be  
properly done.

For me, high level summary of memo should read: "best is to put  
government data on the Web as Linked Data" and then "and use it to  
build your data.gov.* this way."

It might need a title change?
