I believe there should be a single "language spec" OK, I see. So this particular draft is definitely an attempt at scoping just a "producers" spec, and not a complete "language spec" as you've described. But the scope can change if we decide it needs to. We could decide the scope should change, and the document would end up morphing into (or being replaced by) something that is more of a language spec. Or the scope also remain the way it is now. > - in the same vein as HTML 4, CSS, SVG, etc..

Given that it "falls short" in that way intentionally, I'm not sure "falls short" is the description I'd choose -- though I do understand what you mean. > I understand that a language spec wasn't your intention, but that's > the best way forward IMO. Others have said that as well, but we've also heard expressed that a "producers" spec would be worthwhile to some. --Mike -- Michael(tm) Smith http://people.w3.org/mike/
