[rm-wg] towards the GLUE and RM integration

[Sergio Andreozzi]

Hi Paul,

thanks for your feedback. I added it to the wiki page together with 
further comments from me. The UML class diagrams have been also updated 
according to the discussion:

http://forge.ogf.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.glue-wg/wiki/RM2GLUE

there are still some open questions. We can discuss them during this 
week if you are back from holidays, otherwise, after 27 August since 
I'll be on holidays for the next two weeks.

Cheers, Sergio
