Thanks Mikael. I did think about including ISO MLR in the update, but
don't know what to say about it. I'm not really sure what stage it is
at, and yes I should find out but haven't had the time yet. For anyone
interested, there's a useful starting point at
http://www.cancore.ca/betterlom.html (dated Jan 2006). If anyone knows
of a summary of what's happened since, or is willing to post one,
please let us know!

There's a lot that can be read into that comment.... It worries me that
the ISO work on "a better LOM" and the other work on developing the LOM
should have got to a point where they need harmonizing. It highlights
the need for more information about both (a note directed at me).
