I put together small catalog of applications that support catalogs (see 
attached XML file). In the catalog there are some more detailed 
informations like catalog formats supported, catalog library used and so 
on. I would welcome any comments to set of properties that are used to 
describe applications and new entries as well.

Once this list of implementations will be more complete I can create 
simple XSLT stylesheet that will produce HTML page suitable for placing 
somewhere on OASIS site. Lauren, is this viable?
