[Opensim-dev] OGP/Capabilities

[Diva Canto]

I don't know what OGP is. I'm looking at this specific document, and 
it's as generic as a document can be. Specifically, it doesn't say 
anything about how to use the basic protocols HTTP+REST+CAPs. The 
different uses will produce quite different systems, I think.
