Well, some things to bear in mind is that the Ascend attributes
have considerable substructure. They've not adhered to the data
types mentioned in the working draft. Thus, their (per)version
of the reference model is nearly twice the size. I.e. they've
added a fair deal of code to parse the structured attributes and
construct them for transmission. The most egregious example is
the specification of filters. This is the sort of cruft that
disregard for an open standards process leads to.
Bletch!
