Re: RIF UCR --> RIF UC

I like the work Adrian has done on the document.  The examples look much 
more uniform, and provide a much better introduction to the spec.  I 
also appreciate the fact the Adrian's changes have been available on the 
wiki for some time for all to see.  Can you honestly say upon reading 
that you wouldn't like to delete every "Motivates" section?  Aren't they 
very uneven, and don't most seem to require a huge stretch of the use 
case? 

And the Goals, Critical Success Factors, etc?  Too many words, too many 
pictures.  Makes it look like we wasted a year with little output so we 
dressed it up a lot :-)  If not deleted, it should be condensed and 
followed with a frank discussion of what requirements the current spec 
does and does not address.
