    COOL!
     
    Everyone - read this press release and read the roadmap spec - the spec
    sets eventual objectives for the completely harmonized WS-Management
    and WSDM frameworks and WS-* specifications that include:
     
    * A basic common payload format for events for the purposes of
    interoperation,
        while not restricting the use of platform-specific formats
     
    * Bootstrapping the discovery process
     
    * Discovery of the compliance levels and capabilities of the services and
    implementations
     
    * Discovery and enumeration of resource types and the associated metadata
     
    * Read/write access to the type space and associated metadata
     
    * Accommodating a read-only type and metadata space which can be hosted
    outside
        the service (on a Web site) and adapted to the actual service at runtime
     
    Cheers,
    - Ira
