I believe it would also have another advantage in that it could have
properties which would _not_ be nodes, and many of those properties
would in fact be very important from an implementation point of view.

| I have a little more faith in the people and the process than that.

What do you mean? I haven't said anything about either the people or
the process above.

Note that by 'formalism' I mean 'a well-defined schema language
defined by some external authority'. EXPRESS would, I think, be an
excellent choice, if it were not for the problem that so few people
know it.

| list together and post it to the main list?

I would be very happy indeed to do so. I hope to have a draft ready
later today.
