well, if all goes well, the WG will provide something on top of GRAAP, although it is not clear that this is, by all means going to be WS-Agreement, since some people (OCCI as an example, who have expressed interest in our WG's work) are not willing to pickup WS* for their stuff.

The initial version we are starting from will most certainly base on this, but I have people in the background working on something that might be more compatible with, say, OCCI. This, however, should be part of the group discussion.

That really depends on the "rendering" we are going to go for. Since there is the WS-vs-nonWS thing, we will probably not get along with just producing "yet another profile". Besides that, I am not sure that, even for the WS-related part, profiling only will be sufficient -- there has to be something that describes the orchestration of the available standards. That's also why I initially used the term "protocol"...

i will try my very best...

Best,
