    Keep in mind that not all implementors implement CAP to try and get  
    grant money - that is not the goal or objective of all implementations,  
    nor the driver. In fact, I can definitively say that at least part of  
    the motivation of why the TC was actually started and Chartered, since  
    I wrote it, was due to the pressure to try and reduce the development  
    time to interoperate with other systems and the costs associated with  
    that - to positively impact the bottom-line of a software vendor in  
    this space, while at the same time improving the solutions available  
    that could help save lives and assets. Not to try and land grant money.
    
    I realize that this was/is not the incentive for everyone and it may  
    even currently be a minority in the membership today, but that view is  
    in fact represented in the very document that started our existence and  
    at least some % of the group today.
