Actually things seem to have gone a bit quiet, after a flurry. It seems to me that the way things usually make progress is if * a small group * writes a specification and then to put it out for comment to the wider community. Looking at the email, a plausible group seems to be Axel Simon (scribe) Daan Leijen Krasimir Angelov Sven Panne Peter Aachten John Meacham Any such group needs a scribe to write the first draft, and Axel seems to have started doing that already, hence my suggested 'scribe' attribution. I'm making this suggestion as an Aunt Sally to try to keep the momentum you guys have built up. Maybe some of you don't want to do this. Maybe others would like to be in the drafting group (Manuel, Wolfgang, etc). Maybe someone else should be scribe. But I do think that there should be a group of around 6 who roll up their sleeves and WRITE a specification. (Of course, such a specification will be heavily informed by implementations we already have, and should preferably be accompanied by one or more implementations so people can try it out.) There's been enough discussion that I *think* you agree about the broad outlines. It's just a question of crystallising the result. And it would be of real benefit to achieve that result. Simon
