My understanding of the two different requirements was that one was: - "Alignement with widely deployed standards", which includes XML, but not RDF at this stage; and which may include non-W3C standards. That CSF is certainly related to the goal of widespread adoption. It is not necessarily related to the goal of W3C consistency, but it might be considered as supporting it; - "Alignement with the Semantic Web", on the other hand, does not immediately support the goal of widespread adoption; but it clearly supports the goal of W3C consistency. So, I suggest that we keep both alignement CSF; that the first be renamed as proposed above and be linked to the goal of widespread adoption; and that the SemWeb alignement CSF be linked to the W3C consistency goal only. Re whether the deployed standard alignement CSF should be linked to the W3C consistency goal or not, I do not know (in the doubt, I would rather not, for the sake of simplicity; but the argument is rather weak).
