The IAUFWG is aware that the IAU has indicated that they see the FITS
and VO communities as fated to merge, at least as far as IAU oversight
is concerned.  The chair of the IAUFWG is working diligently on the
registrations of conventions with this in mind.  As Buffy said in the
season 6 episode "DoubleMeat Palace" -- "Variety is the spice of bad"
just before she was told "It's a process".
