PRO: mainly because I agree that the Description is something that will be
different to the Subject in users minds based on their experience with
existing systems. As Ron says its very similar to the
Author/Publisher/Contribtor situation where we've got three elements when
we could squeeze by with one but having three makes it much easier on all
the users of DC.
Having said that, if it really turns out that everyone else says CON I can
live with it; I'm interested in having a stable set of elements we can
move forward from. That's what consensus is all about after all;
sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

I like to think of the plank as a small vertical dowel rod in the middle a
pool with _all_ of this mailing list wobbling around on the top of it and
the hungry hoards of the Internet snapping all around us! :-)
Tatty bye,
