Re: Spec wording for operation safety

I put {safety} and @safe because the user would say "operation is safe"
or "operation is not safe" and the person querying the model would
say "what's is the value of the safety property of the operation?".

What do you think? Maybe we can do a straw poll on the call tomorrow
if it doesn't get clear consensus on the list.

Not to bias the vote or anything (;-)), but it is *already* *written*
with the form above: {safety} and @safe.

Sanjiva.
p.s.: I thought you and I came up with {safety} & @safe sitting next
to each other @ the F2F?? Must've been Youenn then.
