bernard, thanks. I hope "professeur" was the right word. I didn't have
my dictionary at hand.

I understand (to viciously stereoptype) the Cartesian requirement to
have this consistent and correct before distribution. This is also my
heritage as an academic.

However, I appeal to you to at least throw out some suggestions NOW --
there is a nice intellectual ferment going on right now, with more and
more people involved, and I think NOW would be an opportunity to get
people thinking about at least some of your ideas (if you are willing
to expose them when they are short of perfection). That way, when you
have things more consistent, the ground will be prepared for people to
accept them.

One of the things I am hearing is that the PM should not look like an
implementation. So in fact, a notation that is not an implementation,
but is still easy for implementors to use and understand, would be a
very useful addition.
