Am not sure. I like that we're seeing some engagement between the SRU and Opensearch communities, and clearly we'll have to watch all this, but this all seems rather chaotic right now. Am actually mildly disappointed in Google. That said, Atom can be used to transport RDF too, even if they should have made it RDF all along.
