If you have an API, why do you want to say anything about
how it might be implemented beneath the covers?

Bob,

This is just a reflection of the work we seem to have done
as a group so far.

It suddenly occurred to me - I guess becuase of the sense
that we need to ensure that everything is absolutely exactly
correct - we've been getting down into a lot of details lately.

This in part has been triggered by the work OASIS has
done to date - and of course they have had longer to
work on it - so details will out!

Anyway - its a good sanity check to realize that 
sometimes it pays to 'let go' of the lowlevel stuff and focus
higher up in the API functionality.

Ain't easy for a bunch of techie engineers for whom
'show me the code' is a mantra!

Appreciate the thought.

Thanks, DW.
