    Hey Gary (et al),
    
    Allen is correct about the fact that the CAP effort is not funded by OJP.
    Some/many (can't recall off the top of my head how many) of the efforts
    utilizing CAP receive some amount of OJP funding, and I've not heard of any
    who have objected to the grant language.  I know for most of those grants
    the language was the old "OJP *may* require compliance" vs. the newer
    language which I believe is less vague.
    
    Both Ken Gill (OJP) and I have been discussing that we need to do a better
    job of reaching out to the CAP community.  Your e-mail gives us reason to do
    more than talk about it, so appreciate you monitoring and reaching out to
    the CAP community.
    
    Also wanted to note that Art's message is correct as well.  We started from
    the same base, then didn't remain as active in each other's efforts as maybe
    we should have.  Nothing that can't be resolved with better communication.
    
    Thanks again!

    I believe you've missed the point. They have defined compliance in the
    context of how a schema is constructed and stated that this someone will
    promote interoperability. They then require "compliance" for all OJP funded
    projects that use XML. In effect, if you don't follow their guidelines for
    constructing a schema based upon the jxdm, you are not compliant.

    There may have been CAP implementations funded by various groups, but 
    
    the efforts of this Technical Committee at OASIS is funded by no one 
    
    other than the members dedicating their time and any resources they so 
    
    do choose. In short, we are an open standards committee that is not 
    
    directed by any other group.
    
    Good question though - Allen
