Tead,
I think the point is that there are several 'kinda-like' embedlets things
already out there. The question for us is to
A) Try not to be overwhelmed by all the depth of the material out there - it
is easy to feel a sense of 'information overload' with all of this
B) Try to be aware but not intimidated by these 'kinda-like' techniques (I
call these techniques rather than technologies) to make sure embedlets is
the 'base class' of all these things
C) Try get something like a reference implementation happening, and in
particular see if we can find a REALLY REALLY simple XML representation to
capture the thoughts.
D) Look for anything that resembles transformable components of the
'kinda-like' technique (XML) ie PLC-XML ==> Embedlet Representation XML to
make sure our representation supports it and to learn from it. This is why
these standards are interesting because they are condensed knowledge of
these things.
In essense, I want to create an XML schema representation of the
serialisable form of the Bean Heirachy in its minimal form and ensure as
much as is possible that this form is generic enough to cover these
'kinda-like' techniques.
One of the difficulties with java is that it proposes to look ahead but
genericness is actually quite tricky - in this case we are going to have to
make a 'best guess' and try to make it minimalistic (Complex systems come
from simple rules) approach just to get the ball rolling

BTW - How is the Elevator Challenge going. It was a very tough one to hand
out first up - thats why I chose it.. It is sometimes quite challenging to
push from idea to implementation and all the issues without silver bullets
that 'spring up' can be quite discouraging. I am keen to see your final
solution.
