Hello Stuart, all,
I took the liberty of forwarding your message to a couple of UK-based email
lists that deal with educational standards in order to see whether that
would stir up any feedback. So far there have been a couple of comments--
one sort of positive, one sort of negative (and, honestly, it's not just me
talking to myself). See the most recent messages in the archive at
<http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A1=ind0408&L=cetis-pedagogy&O=D>
(The people on the CETIS-Pedagogy list aren't necessarily interested in
metadata, the other list I forwarded your message to was the CETIS-Metadata
list, but there has been no reply from there.)
Phil.
