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. ------------- The issue tracker has been updated with this comment. Frank
