[db-wg] proposal: haiku object

  I agree, this is a very important aspect, and we should get it right
  this time!!

  Again, a very important aspect: limit the impact on the large number
  of scripts which have to parse these objects on a regular basis!

  May I humbly suggest that the proponents of such an object come back
  with a draft write-up (ripe document format preferred) by 31 of March
  (maybe -0/+1 day :-)?

  This would allow scheduling a discussion topic for the May meeting in
  the DB-WG.

  Cordially,
  (your WG Chair)
