Good for Steve. He presses on. One
of the problems of selling others on the
earlier works were that the sources for
implementations came down to less than
a handful. Some open source implementations
will be a big help.
... and a definitive FAQ as a guide to reading
the standards themselves. The ISO 10744 terminlogy
with the DSSSL terminology did get excessively
terse.
BTW: For the person new to this list who is
about to ask, "What are Groves?" there are
some archived threads, eg, (The TAO of Groves)
on XML-Dev, an excellent tutorial by Paul Prescod,
and several other reference's listed at The Cover
Pages on the OASIS site.

I'd suggest one start with Paul's tutorial.

One might say in sly summary, "it's the data model, stupid!"
but that hides the bog of the notion of a unifying data model
and....sssshhhhs.... types and semantics.

Just in case Groves make a return, and I think they will, Graham Moore has
started a Java implementation at http://sourceforge.net/projects/grove4j/
There is nothing there yet, but soon, I think, Graham will have the
interface APIs in CVS in order to begin the development.
At the same time, I think Eric Freese and others may be bringing up a
Python open source Grove engine.
All of this got catalyzed by Steven Newcomb's talk at Extreme Markup.
