MIchael, there's no question in my mind that HCLSIG is a perfectly find venue to discuss SBML and do HCLSIG style things elated to it. That's distinct from the question whether HCLSIG can produce a recommendation based on SBML. It can't without a charter change because it (almost certainly) can't produce recommendations.
