RE: John's proposed wording for Principle 4

A couple things I remember from the discussion were


1   Writing principles as imperatives confuses them with guidelines that are
imperatives. 

2  Principles usually are not worded as commands.

Anybody remember other points?

What happened to the original idea that all principles should be written as
imperatives? We decided that success criteria couldn't be imperatives, but
principles could.

"Robust" seems as good a word as any for principle 4 - "Design content to be
robust" or "technologically robust" or "interoperable" or "for
interoperability".
