I can believe it, but I cannot find evidence of their work in this 
area.  I'm hoping that Stig is monitoring this list and can give us 
direction on where to look or who to talk with to learn more of their

You mentioned Howard Mason ... how can we (or should we?) get a hold of him?

Where can we learn more about the formal relationship between UBL, SC4 and 
MoU/MG?
