Well-informed post on recent developments in interoperability standards. I've had a look at the Common Cartridge stuff; it's cool but not groundbreaking (and would probably have gained a bit more traction had people been able to freely access the specifications without having to shell our real money to join the consortium). LTI - Learning Tools Interoperability - is a concept with some merit, corresponding roughly with the distributed nature of web 2.0 applications. If you want to view the specification you will be greeted with a message, "The page you are trying to access is reserved for participants in the IMS/GLC Community." I don't care it "It's easy and free to join" - creating this sort of barrier is exactly contrary to the concept of open specifications.
