Yes, the replies to my mail are very helpful - I am overwhelmed.

It's acceptable to me that ZODB not be ODMG-compliant, it's nice
to confirm that it's not, so that I can devise workarounds
fully confident I'm not duplicating work.

I _do_ suggest that this information appears in the top-level FAQ,
and the ZODB documentation.  If/when I have more helpful info
along this line, I will share.

Regards,
Ken Young

We aren't ODMG compliant at this point. It would be a bit of work to
be compliant.  The hardest part would be OQL support.

I'd love to see ZODB be ODMG compliant, but we (DC) don't have
a significant need for it at this time. If anyone has a strong need,
I'd be happy to help out with advice.  Of course, our priorities
can change. ;)

P.S. I'll offer to buy anyone who (seriously) wants to work on this
     a copy of the ODMG spec. :)
