Complex Tariffs and Energy Interoperation

I want to keep EMIX simple both to keep it machine
process-able and to discourage misuse; if the data structure is complex, people
will use that complexity. Doing so would harm the long term purposes of EMIX.



It may be that handling such  stepped transaction as a
multi-legged product in EI can be done without cluttering up the EMIX elements.
This would have to, of course, be a work plan element agreed to by EITC. 



I am starting a conversation tomorrow on smartgrid-discuss
(not constrained by IP or teams of either TC) on the potential work-plan to
accomplish this.



If you are not already subscribed to smartgrid-discuss,
please do so.
