I agree.   Technically, these would use INCLUDE
statements probably in the secondary schemas.

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
