Seems reasonable; could one of the TAG send such an e-mail to the list, 
and we'll just ask for questions at the beginning? My main concern in 
including this was scoping the discussion between the groups and 
setting expectations about next steps, etc.

Paul Downey from BT will be giving the initial presentation; I believe 
he's going to include some use cases, and I expect that others will 
surface in Q&A.

Paul, can you please include some status on metadata in your 
presentation, to seed discussion here?
