Are you using "interoperability" in the sense of your prior post 
(http://www.isotopicmaps.org/pipermail/sc34wg3/2003-April/001460.html)?

In the same sense that XSLT is "interoperable" with XML? Except that XML 
does not have a "data model," well, according to some people and I don't 
want to start that debate here, and so to be interoperable, one simply 
follows the syntax. So "interoperability" here means a congruence of 
syntax?
