All, 

It occured to me that we did not implement, in PRD, the resolution from F2F12 [1] about importing RIF documents... 

I see four ways to implement that resolution in PRD: 
1. restrict the import to Core documents (only PRD documents that are also Core documents can have imports, and they can import only other Core documents); 
2. retrict the import to PRD documents with implicit conflict resolution strategies (or explicit rif:forwardChaining conflict resolution strategy, which is the same) and they can import only other PRD documents with the same restriction; 
3. restrict the import to the case where the importing and imported documents are all associated with the same conflict resolution strategy; 
4. allowing import of other PRD documents without restriction. 

I propose to exclude option 4 as to ocomplex: we have no idea of the semantics; I also propose that we exclude options 1 and 2 as overly restrictive, and that we implement option 3. We have only one conflict resolution strategy that is specified normatively, anyway; so, it might seem that option 3 is the same as option 2; except that it makes extension to other conflict resolution strategies easy (or so it seems)... 

What do you think? 

I drafted a section on documents and imports in RIF-PRD [2] according to option 3. I have, still, to update the section 8.5 accordingly. 

Please, read and react.
