As part of the other threads on tools, what's core, 
what's application choice, etc., the metadata vs 
data chasm is intrigueing.  At the data level, 
a group wants to describe a thing and exchange 
a description.  At another layer a group wants 
to describe the first group's description and 
exchange that.  Opinions stacked on opinions 
with no way to say who is right, only if one 
agrees and will do what is expected of them. 
Then one realizes they aren't describing anything, 
they are locked in a debate on what the Tools 
have to say and can't tell the difference between 
the opinions of the humans and the opinions of the
machines.

I'm with Len. And, of course, competitive schemata will require that the
platform for transaction *execution* be one which does not require a priori
agreement between the parties on the form of the transaction data structure.

Respectfully,
