My thinking is that NML would be more interesting and useful for users 
(in this case NSI) if we don't impose too many resrtictions. As I wrote 
NML could offer a set of elements, basic relations and minimal set of 
rules how to use them (we may have suggestion and examples of usage). It 
would be up to users and their use cases which elements and combination 
of them are used. Of course there's a risk of going too far with such 
open approach but ... what the hell, users are always right :)
