--------------------
I don't have any new notation Neil.  I don't have a new language.
In fact we shouldn't be trying to create a *new* language.

If we have four proposed languages from which to choose, then one of the 
criteria should be "easy to understand", "intuitive to the novice".

That is my point.  That's been my point.
