This document was published by the Government Linked Data Working
Group<http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/>as a Working Group Note.

Publication as a Working Group Note does not imply endorsement by the
W3CMembership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced
or
obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this
document as other than work in progress.

So pretty informal, and informational.  Some items may be subject to
interpretation.  Also the document is only a week old, it's very much a
work in progress (just my 2 cents)
