[news.eclipse.technology.gmt] possible applications of OAW, ATL, and MOfscript

Hi
I have just started using the tools out of this project. And the amount of time it will reduce in our development cycle is significant.
GMT has certainly come at the right time for my application.
I have a couple of preliminary questions
I plan to use OAW as the MDE platform along with some other transformation languages.
Also I notice two other technogies MOFscript and ATL overlap the functionality in OAW.
What are the relative merits of using MOFScript vs ATL vs Expand as a Model to text language.
What would be the difficulty of adapting MOFscript to OAW similarly to
what has been done with ATL
What are relative merits of using ATL vs Wombat as a Model transformation language
A significant amount of runtime functionality in a program (such as checking instance level constraints, or translation of HQL (Hibernate Query language) to SQL, abstract UI Component model to text HTML
or to a concrete platform such as SWT or Swing, Serialization of components to XML) involve similar M2M or Model2Text transforms.
Can these technologies be used in this manner. In particular are the APIs
present in a manner that the can be used out of the IDE (which I will assume is true), what are the performance characteristics. What other issues are there in using them at runtime.
Thanks
Solomon
