about #calibration (VEP-006) : ----> IMPORTANT for DataLInk EXTENDED USAGE

[Markus Demleitner]

François,

To avoid letting this stall again, since nobody else chimes in, let
me re-phrase my request over on semantics in an attempt to make it a
bit clearer.

Before we can evaluate solutions, we first have to understand the
problem you are trying to solve.  Which I still do not, and neither
have I understood what "extension of the usage of Datalink" you are
proposing.

As long as we are not on the same page here, this discussion will
drag on forever.  I think a clear use case would already help.  For
that, trying to fill in a template like:

  A user wants ... and does ...  The computer then uses ... and
  does...

often helps to structure things so other people understand what you
are trying to do -- of course, pseudocode is fine, too.

Based on this, could you then explain as clearly and concisely as you
can why VEP-007 impedes that use case?

Thanks,

             Markus
