This is blocked in both directions. There's little in the way of 
agreement on design, and there are implementation difficulties caused by 
licensing issues and the fact that some potentially useful approaches 
don't appear to work - ODBC for example is a nightmare.

I am trying to sort out what is possible and what isn't as quickly as 
possible. Then when the current massive web site debate has wound down I 
might try to get people to return to the design issues.
