The Firefly team at IPAC is actively working on capabilities related to working with plotting spectral lines in the context of our more general support for spectra. <span style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 91.35%;">Part of this work involves
making it possible to work with lists of spectral lines that might be supplied by users or as part of mission-specific Firefly applications, or eventually also populated from SLAP queries (though probably not initially).</span></div>

We would like to work with the relevant IVOA standards, so we've been looking at SSLDM in particular. We see that there's a pending SSLDM v2.0 RFC that is marked as "frozen" pending work on an SLAP v2.0. =</div>

For our initial work I suspect we need only a tiny fraction of the power of these data models, but nevertheless we'd like to know whether there's substantive pending work that takes things in a significantly different direction.</div>

In addition, as a contribution to future discussions, I would say that one of the use cases that we have heard repeatedly from all our potential users for these features is the ability to define and/or retrieve curated sets of lines that may be relevant, say,
to particular missions or instruments or to particular science collaborations. Some way of expressing groupings like this _within_ the standards would be of interest to us.</div>
