Found in the PML Specification:
3.2.8 80/20 rule
Description: The design of PML Core should provide 20% of the features that accommodate 80% of the needs.
Rationale: As mentioned above PML Core should have a simple design. By including special needs that only a very few users require, the vocabulary would become rather complex and difficult to use.
Damn, I wish others (WS-*, anyone?) would consider this rule, too. Life would be that much simpler...
