Re: WAS-XML

I think I would characterize the two efforts as complimentary not competitive.

The WAS-XML proposers are more focused (biased) on the source data description portion of the problem and AVDL (as I understand it) is more focused in the communications part of the problem. WAS-XML is essentially extending and formalizing the OWASP VulnXML work that started over a year ago.

AVDL and WAS-XML will work together to ensure there is a synergy and we are already starting those discussions. I would imagine (and hope) that at some point in the future the two become very tightly coupled.
