Several people here on this list have stated that they disagree with 
making this deliverable mandatory, because it is quite possible that the 
RDF-based syntaxes are sufficient. It is also quite possible that the 
group finds the opposite, and we need a shorter syntax. But we don't 
know at this stage, so the deliverable should remain OPTIONAL and the 
decision be left to the WG.
