Re: [oiic-formation-discuss] Marbux: Request for more detail

[Shawn <sgrover@open2space.com>]

Marbux implied that some of the conformity and/or interoperability 
testing may already be done in CDF.  My goal was to discuss this point, 
and see if there was anything there we might be able to borrow (idea 
wise), apply, or recommend.  My goal is NOT to replace ODF.  That would 
just be silly and off-topic.. :)  But it would take someone more 
knowledgeable about CDF (Marbux maybe?) to fill in these gaps, and/or 
make a case for it.  I just didn't want to let the idea slip through the 
cracks if there *was* something there we could use.

Other than that, I understood the "you", but thanks for the clarification.
