This sounds a bit like the "not invented here" syndrome becomes "not implemented here" for OASIS. If there are already 3 useful implementations, why would we expect 200 member companies to implement the same thing? Why would we expect even 3 member companies to implement the same thing? I don't see it, I'm afraid. What if at least 3 (or N < 10) OASIS members acknowledged that they were using implementations of an TC spec, even if they didn't write it themselves? Wouldn't that provide the kind of safety/sanity check that OASIS is apparently looking for? Cheers, Tony. ======== Anthony B.
