I'm taking a step back and re-examining our discussions on patterns that have occurred over the past several weeks, and have some questions please:

(1) I know we've said that we've decided that we would create a pattern language - is that what we *really* want? Is it too low-level (i.e. toward assembly language) for the purposes of this TC? Patterns can be conveyed without the use of a pattern language, as IBM does in their SOA Patterns redbook.

(2) What are some examples of existing pattern languages? I did not see any glaring references in any of the e-mail threads.

Thanks, Joe
