Thanks, I suppose if you wanted to look at how things are in the
code base, I'd appreciate it, but it's certainly not necessary. I've
been following the discussion and have kept silent mostly because
Curtis has described the situation correctly. We designed the
overlay / ROI framework specifically with the OME schema in mind so
that our overlays could both serve as image annotations and
n-dimensional delineations of the space in which the image resides.
Eventually, we should have full support for all attributes in the
OME model and for all shapes in the standard and adapters that allow
their creation and editing.<br>

<div>Lee, if there's anything you want the OME team to look at,
just shout. I think most are now on imagejdev.</div>

My experience is that when people are forced to adapt
two paradigms into <br>
one, either the outcome is better than any of the
previous attempts, or <br>
the people do not speak to each other anymore :-)<br>
<br>
Seriously again, I think that we're on a good track
here, because what Lee <br>
does is indeed the implementation side of something that
is pretty well <br>
defined in the OME standard.<br>

So all is good.<br>
