Can someone explain what is wrong with the following scenario:
BIB2, which is looking very good thanks to the large amount of work put in 
by Barb and Lennie (et al.), defines a way of searching bibliographic 
data.
The DC-Lib community, when they've decided on their elements, look at BIB2
and find the searches which cannot be created in BIB2 and make their own
attribute set, DC-Lib-1 or whatever, which allows for these extra
searches.  Which is what the whole wonderful modular extensible buzzword
compliant attribute architecture is about.
Where's the interoperability problem?
Rob
