It sounds like this is a decision we should make carefully now.
based on the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Are there any other alternatives we should consider?

Would the choice of any one provide real, useful interoperability?

I don't know anything about this area, so I hope that people who do
know will get together and think about this choice.  But we shouldn't
just drift into one choice or the other!
