What I see in this document is something that was hastily submitted without having been read in the whole by its submitters. There may be something useful in the document, but its implications were not thought through as a whole.

[Note: The Alternative Format Import machinery provides a one-time conversion facility. A producer could have an extension that allows it to generate a package containing these relationships and elements, yet when run in conforming mode, does not do so. end note] What's the "Alternative Format Import machinery"? Is this some kind of software, or a processing algorithm, or what? Jon
