RE: DE versus ATOM

["Timothy Grapes" <tgrapes@evotecinc.com>]

Hi Jacob,

I  have not but am glad you have reached out about this.  I believe this is
an appropriate topic to ask of the EM-TC, and I ask that Lee T. also comment
whether he has come across Atom in his dealings with other standards
implementers.

Thanks,

Subject: DE versus ATOM

Hi,
	I've had a couple technical discussions with some people about using
the DE versus the Atom format/protocol.  Their comments were that Atom
offers a lot of what the DE does and that there are more tools and
experience for Atom.  I started coming around to their comments and wondered
if the DE itself is facing an uphill battle for adoption.  I wanted to ask
if you've run into this comparison and how the DE would differentiate
itself?  Thanks,
