As has been stated by the chairs several times, we are all individuals in
our opinions on this group regardless of our group or company affiliations.
So, your opinion, my opinion, all the other opinions are individuals and not
representative of any company regardless of what we may say or not say.

There are some in the OpenSim group that support OGP, others may not. Some
feel that LLSD is good, some do not.

This MMOX group is here to currently work out a charter and state the
problem. Until the problem can be stated in a reasonable manner that all can
agree with, jumping ahead to saying that solutionX, Y or Z is the only
*true* solution is premature.

I rather suspect that this group needs to come to grips with a reasonable
charter and move forward in the framework of the IETF to make
recommendations on ports, data formats and the like.

I also rather suspect that multiple forms of interop will prevail and it is
to the advantage of this group to encourage creativity and innovation.

Personally, I tend to give more credence to logical ideas that are
implemented and testable. And, currently, these are OGP, MXP and HyperGrid,
but not LESS.

Should LESS become implemented so that two or more virtual worlds may test
its premises, then so much the better.
