Despite the early reports of being rejected by the DMTF, it looks
like the DMTF will be "sponsoring" the work defining the WBEM
common schema. I plan to continue to keep an eye on this
effort.

Progress !...
The DMTF voted on Monday to take on the task of developing and owning an
implementation-independent common schema definition. It will use HMMS
as the basis for this work. Part of the effort will be ensuring that
existing SNMP and DMI specifications are supported. This should mean
that no significant additional effort will be required by the Printer
Working Group, though I would suggest that you stay in close contact
with the DMTF working group for the common schema once this has been set
up.
