RE: Are we losing out because of grammars?

The point is that to decide among means, one must 
bound the definition of system first.  Otherwise we 
spend a lot of time debating means without requirements.

You're right that there is probably nothing very new here, but I am
afraid I don't get your point.

Do you mean that such large systems cannot be modeled, that a single
model cannot be shared by all the involved parties or that schema
languages should try to (better) take this requirement into account ?
