    Certainly it's suitable to prepare a "bridge" for the most
important "frameworks" (OpenMAMA included, and maybe also a JMS one),
thus allowing either interoperation, or easily swapping over.

    I'm just wondering if this is not "yet another passing trend",
like ESB (Enterprise Service Buses) was a few years ago... (Actually
they've promised exactly the same, but I think the frontend library
was presented as a SOAP based web service.)
