Christer,

the challenge is to figure out whether there are more generic usage 
patterns that can be identified. The idea of developing these more 
generic features is that you could re-use them in different usage 
environments. Standardizing point-solutions is quite expensive and the 
results often do not see deployment.

Specifically, there is the question about how much standardization is 
necessary to get the basic level of interoperability to let those 
players in the application eco-system extend their software in a way 
that it works with others. In general, it is fair to say that 
standardizing each application has not been very successful.

Does that make sense?
