Despite Tim Bray's protests, the current thread is
to explore precisely that topic, educate ourselves,
and determine among ourselves if there is substance
to the vision. Buy in prior to that is an
act of faith and XML is a technology, not a religion.
We did our time with The SGML Way and discovered
we need to question such things critically. Replacing it
with The Semantic Way or the Director's Way is simply
no longer a good business decision.
It is a bad sign when community leaders question
the community's need to explore topics of interest
to clarify them. A very bad sign.

To my knowledge, and I think I've been paying attention since the last W3C
AC meeting, is that there is no such document.
The semantic web is an idea of TBL, and is primarily in Tim's brain, and
takes lots of education, and then buy in, and then a decision of what to do
about it. He doesn't have a magic fairy wand to just turn everything into
his vision -- which may or may not be a good one, it's way too early to
decide.
