Can I make a suggestion: that we separate the definition of the detail from
the strategy itself.  These definitions should be in an appendix to the
strategy (and will probably change over time).  The strategy (e.g. for the
professional user) should stay more or less the same.

If we agree to this, we need to create a list of the main words or phrases
which need definition as we go along, and then come back to them (or choose
a small group of people who care) to create a definition.

This way we can agree the strategy without spending weeks discussing in
detail such concepts as "professional" or "power user" or "meritocracy".
