      While a defensible definition of product, it is far from a normative one:

      Product differentiation can be achieved in many ways. It may be as simple as packaging the goods in a creative way, or as elaborate as incorporating new functional features. Sometimes differentiation does not involve changing the product at all, but creating a new advertising campaign or other sales promotions instead.

      The definition from the EMIX charter is that which the TC is using, and that definition is compatible with that used in the NIST Smart Grid Roadmap.

      Added section 2.1.1 Line 210 in wd31 to bridge the varying definitions of Product.

      Description

      Energy as a product is the same regardless of when it is delivered, produced, or consumed. The value of the energy may change but the energy itself does not. A tomato is a tomato regardless if there is a blight that wipes out half of the crop 6 months from now. The price goes up, but a tomato is a tomato (unless you get in to species specifics)
