RE: SML (Service Modeling Language) info

Fun is such a personal and relative thing :-)

Seriously, it is not clear to me where these harmonization efforts will
go or what will result eventually out of what they do. However, I
believe that there is value in knowing what each other does and trying
to avoid multiplication of efforts or concurrent development in an
industry that does not have that many resources available at this stage.
For this purpose it is good to provide to these groups pointers to the
IETF work especially Netconf and encourage individuals and teams to
bring their proposals to the IETF as Internet-Drafts and/or inputs to
the Netconf data modeling call for contributions.
