Roy wonders:
> Why have space and time been pulled apart like this?
One of the strengths of the IVOA process has been that discussions are public (sometimes tediously so :–)
This is quite refreshing after following the time wars and now the planetary wars (dwarf or otherwise), in which it seems that various interests aren't only special, but sometimes unfathomably peculiar.
As the IVOA (and national VO) processes are stressed by the need to demonstrate progress, visibility into those processes will be endangered. Many thanks, indeed, for the powerpoint and STC (well, STC-like) examples, but the motivation behind these options is pretty opaque at the moment. I guess for Roy, too.
Awaiting enlightenment. Ommmm...
