It's a small problem with potentially hefty implications, is where I stand. Solving it would make a lot of interesting things possible, and would also kick IR-software developers out of their silos, which I am absolutely all for.

I have publicly wondered (http://cavlec.yarinareth.net/archives/2007/06/05/more-for-the-roach-motel/) why OAI-ORE never seems to mention METS.

I also share your misgivings about Lagoze et al. These are the same yutzes who admitted last year that they thought NSDL would "just work," and they're getting OAI-ORE into areas where it just doesn't belong (see above link). If somebody can whip them into line, maybe this will work. If not, welcome to the next OpenURL, minus OpenURL's adoption track record.

Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.
