  Agenda and discussion overview in Purpose-of-interop.ppt slides by Dave
  Snelling. https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc14998?nav=1

  - Agreed that interoperability is the goal; not interoperation
  - Agreed that purpose should be to prove that interopability is possible
  - Agreed that interoperability should be for a group of multiple
    specs, not for individual specs.  In other words a scenario driven
    profile bringing together multiple specs.
