Decision on Rules Language

[Markus Hofmann <markus@xxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

in order to move forward with the rules language, we'd like to do the 
following:

Since both proposals - IRML and "P" - can basically do the job, it's 
more a question of personal style preference. From the discussions on 
this mailing list, it looks like only two people are leaning toward 
IRML, while four are leaning toward "P".

As such, we'd like to move forward with "P" and drop IRML.

As mentioned earlier, we'd assume that the "P" syntax as specified so 
far is accepted and we won't have to start discussions on syntax 
modifications.

We're already late with the rules document, so we'd expect a first WG 
document on "P" to be published by 9/20. Alex, can you please take the 
responsibility to do so. Andre indicated that he'd be available to 
help and write text as well, if this would be helpful, please get in 
touch with him.

Thanks,
  Markus and Marshall
