AFAIK, nobody has talked to them so far. What they have is fairly complex so some 
discussions on how integrate the best way would probably be very helpful, not to mention if 
they'd be willing to contribute resources.

OK, we're on the same page then.

Absolutely.

Yes. The latest schema can be found here:

http://www.eclipse.org/buckminster/schemas/cspec-1.0.xsd

It includes another schema (definitions common to all our schemas):

Let's go for it and see where we end up.
