towards a resolution on RIF BLD classification

RIF WG,

We have been discussing this issue for a few weeks now, and while it 
is a small minority who prefers not having rif:subclass in the 
language, some probing revealed that some people who have stated their 
support are "going along with it" out of indifference or without fully 
understanding the issue.  I think we need some more community feedback.

Also, discussion of this issue is delaying the production of a next 
public WD, which I would like to release ASAP.

My proposal is that we publish a WD with the current classification 
scheme as it is in the editors draft on the wiki, suitably labeled as 
"under discussion" with a specific call for feedback on that proposed 
feature of RIF BLD, and a better design rationale description for the 
feature, including the pros and cons.

I would like to call this resolution at tomorrows telecon, if 
possible, with actions on perhaps Michael and Dave to draft the pro 
and con sections.

-Chris
