Re: [humanmarkup-comment] Diplomacy: Resource

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

To be honest, I think that's a little far down the road for me. I'm 
not against discussing how HumanMarkup might be able to work, I just 
find it difficult to think that far ahead. I'm afraid I've already 
narrowed my focus down to the atomistic level. I'll be happy to cheer 
from the sidelines, but in the meantime, I'm gonna keep slogging away 
in the trenches and hope the higher level concerns can be addressed 
when I/we get there.

That doesn't mean that I don't think it is helpful to be mindful of 
applications, just that prying my brain out of the details isn't 
smart for me to try to do right now. Please, by all means, have at 
it, and don't think my lack of contribution is anything other than my 
own limitations.

Ciao,
Rex
