Another take on STC

[Andreas Wicenec]

Hi Jonathan,

just browsing through this document I think that this is an extremely  
good starting point to end up
in a STC data model rather than in an implementation. I will go  
through this more thoroughly and
then give some more detailed comments.

thanks,
Andreas
