Why?  Precisely why?

Before we add one more stack of paper to the 
already too dense stack of markup technical 
specifications, we really need a defense for 
it. 

"This is too hard" is just too dumb to 
hear one more time in this saga.

Now that more
time has past, it is even more clear that while the concepts of the grove,
property sets and grove plans are still important, the particular syntax
specified in their implementation is not viable for widespread adoption.

I think the problem is that the SGML Property Set appears to have been
designed for machine, not human, consumption.
