Re: [xtm-wg] Promotion of Conceptual Model

[Jack Park <jackpark@verticalnet.com>]

Personally, I believe that we have an opportunity to "lower the bar" (raise
the standard) for publishing web standards by including UML, _fully
explained_, in the body of the standard itself.  I would like to think that
the towering intellect evidenced in the XTM AG would better be served by
making it clear that standards documents ought to be as thorough as ours
would thus be. Of course, so much for an 'N' page limit, but that's awfully
arbitrary, anyway.
