NSS has few questions on transparency across the languages
NSS to post this to the reflector. 

John reviewed the transparency requirements:

- Author of a design unit has to be oblivious to the 
  design language that instantiates the design unit.
- The author of the instantiating unit should not care
  about which language the design unit is written in. 
- Define the set of compatibility requirements 
- Transparency defines in terms of namespace
- Define rules for use of escaped identifiers in special
  cases. 

John reviewed the requirements for compatibility

- Requirements for Strong and weak  typing rules
  across languages.
- Avoid conflict with semantics defined in other languages
