i think we should watch out for what AIML is used by botmasters.
For example there are a lot of line of aiml code do just an integer addition.

have AIML to be so, for just an integer addition?
at the same time AIML should not "degrade" to an ACME product ;-)

There is no need to change the specs, my opinion is to keep them both as 
optional, meanwhile a "research" on a AIML DOM API and/or an AIML "script" 
processor would be interesting?
