Understood, and for below, yes. The one realm where HumanML can gain 
the most traction as a standard, which will then leverage our other 
efforts into far greater visibility and use is in the protection of 
privacy for personal preferences in depth, with the emphasis on depth 
so that those of us who understand how to use that depth can 
demonstrate it for the rest of the web in a way that shows the 
benefit of having web applications and web services custom tailored 
for each individual. However to do that we have to be harmonized with 
name and address and Human Resources, which is the single largest 
usage of personal information--extremely important personal 
information related directly to one's ability to earn a living and be 
treated properly in the workplace, which is arguably the most 
important aspect of our lives, especially online. So we must be 
absolutely compatible and interoperable with the authentication and 
certification of identities represented in the name schema and 
subsequently in the address schema and the various Human Resources 
Schemata. If we build on that basis to deliver REAL benefits, our 
standard will fly. Otherwise we will be marginal at best.

Ciao,
Rex
