Well, not to defend myself, but why would I read the PM if it didn't 
tell me something I needed to know? [speaking as an implementor] I'm
not looking for a tutorial, I'm looking for a model that is in some
way comprehensible and useful as a model for those who attempt to
write applications that process topic maps. If it doesn't do that,
it's an academic exercise.
