I'd very certainly be interested in the projects you mention. I like to
play as much as anyone, but I also don't want to reinvent anything, esp.
since in reading through extant online information there seems to be 
a multitude of overlapping projects in this area, with almost every
library seemingly creating their own metadata "standard". This would be
one reason to approach perhaps getting the Dublin Core, Gutenberg and
OASIS (ie., industry) together in a single schema, if that's possible.

I'll look into the URL you provided, but I'd also be interested in your
DTD and XSLT stylesheet too.

Thanks very much!
