Principle of Least Power

At the June 2005 TAG f2f[1] meeting we observed that the web
architecture document doesn't offer the principle of least power as a
principle of web architecture. Roy and I agreed[2] to review
TimBL's text[3] along these lines.

I think the text describes the situation adequately and I'd be
prepared to accept it as a principle for some future version of the
web arch document or a related document with whatever editorial
changes were deemed necessary to fit it neatly into the new document.

I propose that this message completes this action (#9 from [4]).

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
