Dominic: thanks for the info.  The existing harmonization is pretty bang on.  
There are a few extensions I may add in there.

Hi Tom,

Adding SOS support to OWSLib would be great. Please ask if you have any 
questions.

btw: I actually attempted to harmonize the Service metadata for WFS/WMS and 
WCS in this changeset:
http://trac.gispython.org/lab/changeset/1095

So any of the W*S code modules can be used as a 'template' for SOS.

btw #2: At the moment the service metadata is handled on a per service level  
it might make sense to refactor and subclass services from a (OWS) common 
base service (but it's not essential right now..).

Cheers,
Dominic
