What are the odds of this?

[Kristen James Eberlein <kris@eberleinconsulting.com>]

For those of you with a statistical bent, what are the odds of:

• The existence of two OASIS organizational members with the last name of Eberlein (me and Robert Eberlein, System Dynamics Society, Inc.)
  
• The two organizational members being related ... (Robert Eberlein was one of my "cold contacts". It turns out that he is my second cousin twice removed.)
• The two Eberleins both being editors of OASIS specs (Robert Eberlein is one of the co-editors of the XMILE spec.)
• The XMILE and DITA specs going to vote within a day of each other.

I'm planning to vote "Yes" on the XMILE spec :)
