Isn't that just a UIX issue? If the "terms and conditions" of a sale are really complex, then a human- or machine-langauge will reflect this. > Consumers are not interested in shopping at a store where the rights they get vary transaction-by-transaction; they need stability. Machine languages were designed under the (mis)belief of supporting "any business model". The problem being that consumers don't really want this (as you point out) nor do businesses (as this cost more money to run). The best examples are where a machine-language is "profiled" down to meet the exact business models of a community. As Rigo pointed out, some machine-languages don't fit the web-model (enterprise-focussed), others were too-early in the ecosystem (eg P3P)....but we can learn from these, and design the successors with greater understanding of the machine, person, and business.
