OK, that's pretty clear... I'll describe it just that way in the  
updated Issues List, forthcoming shortly.

Personally, I'm still not sure a content standard is the right place  
to try to enforce that sort of policy.  I think a case could be made  
for allowing DEs to be atomic for data-integrity and synchronization  
reasons, especially in mixed two-way/one-way network environments.   
And I think we should allow the implementers to make their own  
capacity/performance judgments.

But I certainly wouldn't have any problem with Rex's offer to  
substitute something less massive-sounding for the purpose of our  
example.
