Or, "I find this very useful and that is all I need 
to know.  Let the fools on xml-dev worry about 
its non-unity degree of membership."

Whether or not The Web exists or is a useful fiction,
what the TAG has to produce is useful things, and 
that as I recall, was TimBL's way of describing 
a resource, so I have that on good authority.

Good night folks.  This was *really* fun.  No, 
there is no "len bullard" but a guy with that 
nickname is playing tonight at a restaurant 
in Alabama in case you want to drop by and 
listen to the silences between the notes. :-)

So, a practical person might use this heuristic and say "Hmmm, that 
feature has a non-unity degree of membership in XML, I think I'll 
stay away from it" rather than "Hmmm, the consensus of the gurus on 
xml-dev is that that feature is really and truly part of XML, so I'll 
use it."
