Show me the big wave of tools for the approach 
you will provide.  Ummm... do you need tools 
to define a spec or to implement one?  Groves are 
a means that can be realized in a tool but do 
not depend on one.  What is the tool for defining 
the infoSet?

Red herrings swim in both directions.  Escheresque.

I think that argument would be more convincing if there were
large arrays of tools for getting into these formats using groves.  I'm
well aware that there are some tools out there, and that they can work
quite well, but I've yet to see the 'grove wave' in document management -
especially on the smaller scale projects where I tend to operate.
