+  - What is our use model?

+    - Parse, transform tree, walk   (rdp)
+    - Parse, walk
+    - cascading tree rewrites

+      ==> use the middle formalism "for now" and in meta.g; layer others
+          on top of it

+  - Lay down the law on the different kinds of Sequence productions
+    and how they work.

+
+  - whitespace-in-braces?
+  - Deal with the problem of zero-rep productions and whitespace insertion
+
   - switch maximal to not-followed-by (~/~)
 
   - should Union.add() be there?
