Steve, that bit of my suggestion was trivial for the LHC experiments as
they are all included in the LCG distribution so it should just happen. I
still think the experiment people in the UK should take some initiative
though. It will be a while before Jeremy and the T2 coords get round to
checking VO support at all sites, although I will be happy to be proved
wrong. More important is the experiment software being installed (and
tested).
