Action 126

In reference to action 126, I have tentatively added the following
paragraph to the wiki page for the UCR document introduction.

----------------------------- 
 
It is important to understand that not all of these requirements are
directly generated by functionality described in one or more of the use
cases presented in section 2. Some of the requirements, e.g. "XML
syntax" for the RIF, are directly stated or implied by the working
group charter. Some requirements are generated by the desire to
guarantee that certain types of rule languages are within the scope of
the RIF, e.g., the "RDF data" requirement. Some requirements, e.g.,
"Implementability," are requirements on the RIF as a whole, and do not
need to be motivated by use cases. Such requirements are similar to
what are called "non-functional" requirements in software engineering,
since they are not connected with specific functionality delivered by
incorporation of the RIF within a system or application.
