I've already got the one document which is trying to cover these items.  

http://pages.sbcglobal.net/mycroft/proposal/cad_system_proposal.html

I was trying to keep that somewhat simple and concentrate more on the 
technical details and possible implementations with the smile floormats page.

Some of you may have already seen this other paper in its pdf manifestation.  
The link from the smile floormats page says that it would be an "executive 
summary", but this is a bald-faced lie.

While I intend to explore more about the possible uses later, I think that the 
real issue is currently how it is going to be done and how to get developers 
to adopt it.  I'll be focusing mainly on these issues for the forseeable 
future.
