[alicebot-general] open issues with the AIML spec

[Noel Bush]

The AIML spec has not been majorly revised since it was published as a 
"working draft" in 2001. From time to time, discussion arises about 
certain items that are ambiguous or potentially incorrect in that document.

I have created a page on aitools.org to try to collect all the points 
that have been raised. Potentially these may be addressed in some 
"proposed alternate spec" to be offered as input for the "official" AIML 
spec.

I've just started it off by listing the two most recent items I can 
find, but I hope other people will list many more, as quite a lot of 
small points have come up in the past several years.  Hopefully this can 
serve as some useful input to the community process, such as it is.

The page is here:

Anybody can create a user account and then add items or comments to the 
page.

Best,
Noel
