Another important scope question is which versions of CIF it will cover. As a practical matter, I think it must support CIF 1.1. Surely it must eventually support CIF 2.0 as well, but should we target that for the the initial version? And to what extent, if any, must the API support documented CIF features that predate and are excluded from CIF 1.1? Are there any non-standard features that should be supported in some manner by the API?
