Ooh..my subject acronymizes as OPS. Kind of appropriate, no? :)
Whatever it's called, I think this topic deserves its own list! The
potential impact of a successful spec is mind-boggling. I'd
definitely like to see some draft specs and find out how convenient
they are to code to. Given that this area is harder than it looks
(well, it looks harder the harder *I* look at it :), I suspect that a
winner will only emerge as various draft specs compete for mindshare.
