mm1: David, I did briefly review the BCM Appendix B that talks about 
choice points and linking/switching. Can you please explain to me the 
basis for use of an inference engine with rules of all shapes and sizes? 
It appears the choice points are based in XML but require a WSDL 
definition - can you explain why you assume that a WSDL interface will 
be required for each transition?  Frankly, I am not sure what this says 
to me. How does this relate to BPSS? Please be explicit. Thanks.
