Of course you are absolutely right that one programs implementation details do not matter. I only include them because they are reasonably straightforward and I'd imagine that many other tools would have to include similar abstractions and deal with possible translations. Without the clarifications I mention, applications who do not know each other ("unknown compliant producer"s) can already communicate using ODT +GCT: http://vimeo.com/22154954 Of course, videos of more advanced use cases are planned to follow. > > As far as I can tell it would be nearly impossible for an application to > do so.
