I might want to add that this is a _draft_, so please do not become
engrossed by the syntax. (I know that people naturally will, though.)

Also, there are several well known bugs and inconsistencies in the
spec due to several shifts in the document structure. I alone have
here more than 100 additional remarks.

As Lars already mentioned, we are seeking more high-level feedback
before we undergo the chore of fixing the myriads of smaller
annoyances. In the meantime I will be implementing most of the
language, this will result in more fixes. Lars, as I understand, will
try to bring our 'use case solutions' document which we have
internally in sync with the current spec.
