[topicmapmail] Latest RM?

[Jack Park]

Murray,
That makes you the "Pizza Man" -- he delivers ;-)

A valuable purpose for doing subgraphs is the so-called "Situation" of 
conceptual graphs.

It has been my intuition for quite a while now that the latest RM, with 
its bent for knowledge representation in the form of the assertion 
model, brings us to a place where you can do just about anything you 
want and still get a topic map for free. I think that the present RM, 
when cleaned up so that it is, um, less opaque, will be a very important 
contribution.
