RPG happens to be my bread and butter and am totally for a continuing
rejuvination of the language.  Having input to the future of RPG is great and 
the
developers should be commended for asking others thoughts.   We need to think of

Along the lines of the CF spec.  Do we really need CF?  or F or D spec
identifiers.  Seems like there are enough key words associated with the various
specs to identify any of the specs without the spec identifier.
