I'm relieved it's not just me being dense. I am experiencing the same
difficulties.
You are certainly not alone.
The problem is that no-one has been able to come up with a better
proposal, much less a proposal and a matching implementation.
This is why I'd love to work through the use-cases, applying the
correct
terminology to the examples; doing so ought to make the other HOWTO's a
lot easier to understand, as the reader could draw parallels from a good
understanding of the concepts, rather than trying to distill the meaning
from HOWTO's.
Sounds like the right approach. If you end up with a new proposal for
how things should work or be described, feel free to write it up even if
you can't implement it yourself.
