Each charter draft I have seen points at one or more systems as a potential starting point for the working group. The initial ones had ShEx a the starting point (at least as far as I can remember - I don't know how to look at old drafts). The last paragraph of Section 3 in recent drafts directs the working group to look at several systems as a starting point. I view this as putting some marks on the slate. However, for you mean a non-blank slate means that the working group's solution should start out with a particular thing. Yes, the last paragraph of Section 3 doesn't mandate any solution and leaves this slate blank. peter On 08/02/2014 04:57 PM, Sandro Hawke wrote: > On 08/02/2014 06:11 PM, Peter F.
