In that context, then, what is the objective test that separates these issues? An unelaborated "Simple" isn't good enough for this domain, particularly for a community-developed standard. The question is even one of "where?" Over the wire? Or within the Homesite, or Membersite for the developer? And for whom? On this latter question, it appears it can only be wrt the developer at a Homesite or Membersite who develops the code incantation that 'users' put in their cgi.
The way I think about it is this... The goal is adoption... How do we get all parties to buy into talking this protocol, for the good of all. So, the parties are (using the dmd0 terms that I'm most familiar with: The User, The Homesite Developer, and The Membersite Developer. In my opinion the simplicity priorities are: 1) The User 2) The Membersite 3) The Homesite All complexity moves from the User to the MS to the HS... to the point of there being nothing to install on the user's machine, and for a Membersite being enabled with just some HTML editing.
