Subject: [Asrg] Should email have semantics?
We pretty much use email as a form of universal transport. While there
are mechanisms to express the type of content (such as MIME) no
formal mechanisms exist to express actions or consent that are
embedded in the email exchanges. As a consequence, we have an
unimaginable menagerie of ad hoc expressions of actions and consent.
