Just to add:
OMG is working openly and has managed to produce lot of good (and some
bad) specs as well. I do not think that these two approaches are
exclusive. OMG just provides a rather good infrastructure under which we
can work! Actually I hope that more institution will join to the
OMG/LSR. We can make it work even better!!
