I can clarify: We pondered that approach several months ago (updating
RIM to accomodate CCTS requirements), but decided that it was best not
to touch the RIM, but rather to either (a) create a RIM binding, or (b)
express the CCTS metadata in XML format, as a "wrapper" to the XML
representation of the Core Component (i.e. an XML serialization).
We then decided on approach (b) for several reasons, the most pertinent
ones being (1) no impact to existing RIM, and (2) interoperability with
non-ebXML registries and systems (that is, the ability to export/import
a Core Component to/from various registries/systems and have all of the
metadata necessary to describe that Core Component "coupled" with it).
