>Since Athena [an EU FP6 project that included this] has finished, I have

>continued to work on the Data Format Description Language as part of the

>DFDL work group at the Open Grid Forum. In fact I became the main author.

>It has taken a lot more time and effort than we predicted but we have

>eventually published the first version of the specification and it is

>currently open to public comment. The work group is trying to encourage

>as many independent reviewers as possible to comment on the document.

>When we discussed it in Athena you thought that it would be applicable

>to the formats used in the automotive industry [in interfaces to

>on-board computers].  So I would be grateful if you could take a look at

>it and comment on the specification.
