Currently Metronome Marks is section number 8.3.1, and it contains 
MetronomeChangeEvent and MetronomeMark.  I'm proposing that we 
eliminate the MetronomeChangeEvent and leave the MetornomeMark.

Sorry, I'm lost.  Do you have any specific examples of un-lean format?  
Or of any of
your complaints?

I suppose that the leanest-possible format would look like bad perl 
code -- after all,
why write "\new Staff" when we could use "&@" instead.  So I'd say that 
we try to
be lean yet still understandable.  :)
