+*[[m:spacetime_DTD]] (This is necessary for automatic relation mapping and borders of )
+Spacetime is critical to match suppliers and buyers of non-offensive goods in space and time, without which, buyers may have no choice but to buy offensive goods.  It is critical also to identifying borders of natural ecoregions as they exist or as they are degraded over time.  This is useful to graphically show the impacts e.g. of [[w:deforestation]].
+*[[m:ecoregion_DTD]] (This is a great idea and has to be implemented in [[Cium]])
+Ecoregion is critical since an export of exactly the same consumer good from one ecological region may be harmless or even constructive, while an export of the same good from another may be devastating, e.g. exporting water from arid regions versus those with icebergs, e.g. exporting pulp wood from tropical forests versus managed temperate tree farms, e.g. cattle living on former deforested rainforest land versus natural pasture.
-*[[XML/DTD/product_group.dtd]] I've done some work on product_group.dtd, but it's not working. I'm thinking that product_group-nodes could be arranged to multiple trees ([[production]] tree, [[product substitution]] tree) and directed networks to reflect the different roles of a product_group in different contexts.
+==Persons==
+All persons could have a double identity in consumerium. One of a [[employee]] (participating in an production process) and one of a [[consumer]] (participating in consumption). Some people have multiple jobs simultaneously and this must be taken into account. These different roles can be unconnectable or unified if the person desires so.

+== coordination with non-XML name spaces ==
-*http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/spacetime_DTD
-*http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/ecoregion_DTD
-*http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/person_DTD
-These three are necessary for non-obvious reasons.  Ecoregion is critical since an export of exactly the same consumer good from one ecological region may be harmless or even constructive, while an export of the same good from another may be devastating, e.g. exporting water from arid regions versus those with icebergs, e.g. exporting pulp wood from tropical forests versus managed temperate tree farms, e.g. cattle living on former deforested rainforest land versus natural pasture.
+If these DTDs are not standard with large scale data sources like wikipedia and all other projects using the GNU GFDL, they will not be used to maximum extent, and the information available will be limited or flawed.  Thus early standardization of these tags is extremely important to consumerium, even if it finds some of them problematic politically.
-Spacetime is critical to match suppliers and buyers of non-offensive goods in space and time, without which, buyers may have no choice but to buy offensive goods.
+Also XML tags may not be the only or best place to express some standards, e.g. [http://act.greenpeace.org/996755792/1007012854/1007026932/1007232560/1007335070/1007763497/1007763704/1007766148/1007777103/1007853930/1007859532/1008468120/1008930052/1008933882/1010349645/1010351347/1015651781/1015703516/1015709328/index_html ecoregion DNS entries] or the [http://wiktionary.org dictionary] also express name-spaces for public use, and may be more appropriate for nouns or verbs useful more generally than consumerium.
+----
-And a real-live-person DTD is critical to ensure that anyone who participates in an extremely offensive production process can be excluded across all of a buyer's purchasing decisions, regardless of what shell companies or front groups are in use for them to hide behind.  A small number of individuals tend to be involved in decisions that lead to Indonesian rainforest devastation, or similar problems in Brazil and Congo.  These people must be identified and very reliably targetted so that their participation becomes poisonous to any commercial effort anywhere in the world, and others get the message that they will economically suffer if their name is linked in any way to ecologically devastating activity.
