I have now found a copy of the standard, embedded in the EDRM XML page (but the link doesn't seem to be working now). Although we have not had an opportunity to discuss it within LiST, my personal take is that it is aimed at vendors complying with a standard to deliver identical load files to users. If that is so, I'm not surprised it is getting vendor support (and 99.9% of active individual participants on the various working groups seem to be from vendors - I can see one law firm across the lot, limited to the XML Liaison with Metrics Working Group not on any "design" groups). It will probably also get user support on the limited basis that standard load files are okay. On first pass, though, it doesn't seem to bear any real relationship to the necessarily more detailed LiST Protocol, which is aimed at allowing multiple organisations (parties, vendors, courts, etc.) exchange data/documents in a standard form. It does seem to acknowledge one of LiST's current recommendations, however, by referring to single page TIFFs a number of times. What is surprising is that it took so long to produce this draft, which is dated 3 March 2007 on its face, with a file date of 29 October (yesterday, when I presume it was uploaded) and the date of 6 March 2007 in its metadata.
