I think it does as long as we can keep the APIs kind of consistent. We 
have to avoid that OCS is missused as a container for all kind of 
specialised apis IMO.

Using more OCS in oC gives us a lot of other interesting options, just 
think of "Share this file with my frieds", even though our oC API would 
not have to be part of OCS for this.

As OCS is an opendesktop standard, this argument does not count. From 
technical standpoint its no prob at all and from the 'politcal' it also 
should not.

OCS is the try to create a widely supported standard where non has been 
before which means "work togehter with many developers..."
