I think the question at that point is how does DataScope do this? What we/I was proposing was a standard Plastic hook which can be used by any Plastic-enabled app to consume or emit to other apps a VOEvent message. Personally I was thinking about using to push hand crafted solar events from Elizabeth Auden's generator into the event network via a broker.
