    Why are we doing this? SLS requires transport representation for which
    XML makes sense. Are we required to make informational model for
    storage purposes? I doubt that! Tanning SLS with a policy information model
    might make sense if SLS is to be stored for provisional purposes but
    what you store is not necessarily what you transport. If SLS is addressing
    transport issues why worry about informational models!

    Even if that is the case, it is not clear that the PCIMe will align
    with CIM. If we start with CIM model then we inherit all the problems
    the policy framework WG has dealt with already. Why not build on
    CIM by default by building on policy if we decide to go down that
    road.
