[xtm-wg] Simplified requirements

[Sam Hunting <sam_hunting@yahoo.com>]

Here is a list of requirements for the PM that I believe meets Lars
desires, and is also readable by all XTMers (implementors, designers,
users)

1.  The PM shall be formal and concise. 
2.  The PM should be prepared quickly. 
3.  The PM shall support a wide variety of applications. 
4.  The implementor shall find it easy to write programs that
    conform to the PM. 
5.  The number of optional features in the PM should be kept
    to the absolute minimum, ideally zero. 
6.  PM documentation should be clear. 
7.  The design of the PM shall consider interoperabilty of XTM
documents
    of paramount importance. 

I honestly don't understand the controversy on "formal and concise."
This is right out of XML 1.0. Can anyone argue that the productions in
XML 1.0 are not useful -- particularly for ensuring interoperability?

S.
