Software requirements

A very common and useful part of resource requirements is that concerning a definition of software dependencies, e.g. 
libraries required to run a given application. Simple possible examples of this could be as follows:
	- interactive application may need additional software (e.g. VNC) to enable users to access remotely application's user
 interface
	- graphical application may need the OpenGL library to run
	- Java applications need Java Virtual Machine installed
Therefore, in my opinion such an element would be both useful and quite generic. Of course, it can be added to a set of 
possible extensions.
The Software element could look as follows:

<Software>
   <SoftwareName.../>
   <SoftwareVersion.../>
   <SoftwareDescription.../>  
</Software>

software requirements

This looks like a nice extension and maybe we will do this in the future. Our goal is to look at how people are using 
the standard and make changes to the next rev.

Re: software requirements

We discussed this again at GGF15 and agreed that this may be something to define as an extension to JSDL 1.0.
