OK, on that basis it seems like we go ahread with the wildmats. That will
involve a fair rewrite, which may take a while. In the meantime, I shall
report progress to the uri at w3.org list (there is nobody there except Frank
Ellerman and occasionally Al Gilman who is taking much interest in this,
so the discussions here have been useful).
