The government is running this project. That's how the project will
end up.

Most likely, knowing the current administrations love of increasing in
the name of decreasing, the word set will probably grow from 72 to
600.

Ha-ha...

Gore's latest "reinventing government" idea is to rewrite all US documents
written before 10-98 by 2002. New documents written after 1-1-99 must
be written in plain language. Gore said that rules with 72 words will
be reduced to six.

They have an interesting web site that contains examples and a document
on how to write in plain language, www.plainlanguage.gov

Anyone want to bet on how this project will end up?
