Could you also post the reference to the INFOD specification(s)? Also
references to any other material describing the more advanced features
you expect to work on in the future would be nice.

Abdeslem in his revision to the information services section for OGSA
1.5 added mentions of INFOD and I would like to have a reference to a
specification, even if an early working group draft. I would also like
to understand better the potential role of INFOD.
