Yes I didn't mean to exclude an <intent> tag, those bits were merely
intended as examples.

Well, in the case of DAP, we have Contacts in our Charter, and I
intend to write an Intents based version partially to show that it can
work.

It could be the case that the TF actually publishes <Zero> Basic
Actions, however, I think not having any sample actions for people to
use as a model isn't a good way to do things.

Perhaps we simply point to other groups who publish intents. Note that
I'm raising this item to get opinions about how many and which, not to
dictate the list or anything.
