I would be very interested in taking part in such discussions. I would in particular like to see discussion of: * What the problem being addressed is. * What research shows that it is an important enough problem that it should be addressed. * What the requirements are. As you say, I don't think we have a shared vision here. In particular, there have been several alusions to concepts that I do not understand at all, like computers fetching information about vocabularies and doing something useful with that information. If a complete description of the problem or problems that are of interest here could be put forward, along with research showing why these are important problems (e.g. showing that these are problems faced by the bulk of users), and along with a discussion of the requirements that a solution would need, it would go a long way towards leading us to a shared understanding of the discussion. So far, I have not felt like we have an agreement on what the problems we should be solving are, which makes it hard to discuss proposals. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
