As much as I admire Jim Hines and his
wonderful penchant for coming up with words intended to make us
feel better, I do think we should stop using SMILE. XMILE is the
standard and it encompasses both the equations and the display.
I do think it makes sense to separate out the computational
portion of the model structure from the display information. I
also think the computational portion deserves substantial
discussion before the Schema implementation is described.
Given that I would suggest the following layout (though it may
be that the standards for standards writing dictate something
else):
1. Short background as is
2. Container Schema (version codes, producer...)
3. Model equation structure
4. Model equation schema
5. Display and widget structure
6. Display and widget schema
Because we have parallel discussions in this email forum and on SDForum from time to time I will be copying content between the two. We can talk about the best way to do this during tomorrow's call. I will bring this thread from SDForum across intact, so we can see how it looks (it is the longest thread). There will be several messages, but I will start with the initial notes I made, already on record in a file attachment.
