If we agree on it I think it's undoubtedly the best way forward :-). IOW we build a public implementation of 'inheritance' - make the code and examples public and that effectively defines what the community at large understands by the spec. In this way anyone on the SIG or WGs who has a differently interpretation can speak up now. The only qualification is that the API has to be very well documented so we all agree what it does!

And working this out in public would be valuable. P.
