Why should we try to optimise the conformance criteria to be machine checkable by people other than the author (or those affiliated with the author)? Machines are inherently limited in their ability to check documents, so reducing the conformance criteria to be mostly machine checkable isn't such a good idea; and optimising for people other than authors seems misguided. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
