I'm a bit confused by this thread now, but it seems we agree that the  
current inability of publishers to indicate scope is a problem, and  
MFO is a potential solution.  Is that correct?  If so, I think we  
need to openly discuss the semantics of MFO (i.e. follow the process)  
before we get into a more limited discussion of how to parse MFO.  I  
don't think it's ready to parse at all yet, so I'm not sure why it's  
on -dev.

Peace,
