Issue #13

This is a response to Issue #13:

-----------------
The actual title for this CSF is not efficient implementation but low  
cost of implementation.

The intentions of this CSF is to promote widescale adoption. A RIF  
without widescale adoption would become irrelevant to the W3C.

It is easy to see how the complement of this condition would affect  
adoption: if the RIF were hard to implement, then few people would  
implement it and adoption would be reduced.

There are many factors involved in deciding the cost of implementing  
the RIF, some of these are listed as requirements for this CSF.  
However, in addition, I would add

Low cost of deployment. I.e., a cheap algorithmically efficient  
implementation would not be sufficient if it required that users  
radically change the way that they work with rule systems.

In direct response to the issue, there was no intention of involving  
the goal "basis for SW rule language". Such a goal appears to have no  
bearing on this CSF.
