• Reusing Roy's (unanswered) comment on the TAP's RFC: "Isn't there a requirement for implementations or prototypes before a standard can go to RFC? Please can somebody post the service URLs of these, so that I can try out this new standard for real?" I understand (and apologise for it) that it is very cheap on me (not developing any of that) saying so, but it is important to follow the established process. Thanks, Alberto Micol
