[Metacosm-dev] LowLevelDescription-RFC comments

[Laurent PEREIRA]

Hi,

Some comments about LowLevelDescription-RFC : 


- definition : The low level description is the set of attributes used to 
describe Creatures, Items, Places and Actions, the possible values, etc.

I find it really light.
I would add that it is the internal format of descriptions before it is served 
to players and transformed by metacosm clients to text, sound or graphics.


- attributes
You use exclusively the term of 'attribute' whereas we used 'property' until 
now.
As attributes are properties as defined by Property-RFC, there is no reason to 
change their name.

- The shape tree
This is a good idea that can be applied to other descriptions like activity ids 
for instance.
But I don't know how we will define trees : XML ?

-  The perception system (as described inPerceptions-RFC) will transmit 
information defined like a triplet (medium,intensity, attribute).

There is no example about the use of the intensity for descriptions.
For instance if a character is shouting (high intensity), the text will be 
displayed in upper case.
