Absolutely. That's why I suggested MPEG-21 'awareness' or compatibility for
the JCR.

David,

Thanks for your answer and your interest. I sent e-mails to a number of
folks who might be able to give some insight into the question of IP
encumbrances for MPEG-21. Jeroen Bekaert of LANL responded. He pointed me to
a post by Herbert van de Sompel (LANL creator of OpenURL) 

   http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=10818549

which basically says "we (MPEG committee) want DID open and _all_ MPEG-21
related XML openly published by ISO."


Best,

David
