that's what i was thinking :) its sounds like people are starting to get on 
the same page. that's really good. soon, we'll have to start thinking about 
implementing.

you like that, huh? i've always been known for my web development skillz. i'll 
have the next iteration up.


somewhat unrelated
----------------

it turns out that OMG went nuts and defined a meta object description language 
(i'm not kidding either). its called (go figure) MODL and its used to 
describe, guess what? MOF. guess what's not described in that language. UML. 
don't know why.

now there's something really interesting to work with. what if our 
MOF_bootsrap actually just compiled this file and generated the MOF code? 
wouldn't that be interesting?

anyway, if you do a web search, you won't be able to find anything about it. i 
didn't. here's the specification though. i really think you guys will like 
this. there's something very, very concrete about it.
