There is no shortage of card edge specs. What there is is a shortage of compliance. The ESTI SCP specs because they underpin the GSM SIM are the only smart card specs that have yielded interoperable implementations.
IMHO, as always.

Others, particularly the MUSCLE (Linux) crowd, are doing pioneering work as well. And the transport sector in several European countries is also worrying away at the general problem of muliple card issuers and multiple card platforms. Unfortunately, until we get a common card edge set of specs and guidelines, the terminal technology will be neglected.

If you ask me, Java's days as a smartcard host application platform are only beginning. Let's just hope Sun don't let the Vendors give up on Java as the host interface language. > More power to you... Thanks, but I'm only posting occasionally.
