I'm mostly happy to let the structure of use cases emerge as discussion progresses, but I'd like to nip this naming convention involving people's initials in the bud. Please pick names/identifiers that are real-life words that would be reasonably meaningful to somebody who's new to the WG. Yes, it's harder, but coming to agreement on terms is the game we're here to play. Use of opaque codewords like XY-23 can lead to inter-group efficiencies, but it creates a barrier around the group; it makes it expensive for new people to figure out what we're all talking about. Also, naming use cases (and issues and so on) after people is counter the goal of group consensus/endorsement/ownership. Each of us should feel free to criticize a use case without giving any signal of attacking a person whatsoever. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ see you at the WWW2004 in NY 17-22 May?
