Okay dokee, sounds good to me. My only comment is that I would
prefer the interface information to be before the actual database
information, like:

databases/BioCorba.version/EMBL.version
databases/EMBLCorbaServer.version/EMBL.version

The reason I like this is that my basic need in BioCorba is to find
what BioCorba-interface-implementing databases are available. If the
databases are structured like:

databases/BioCorba.version/db1.version
databases/BioCorba.version/db2.version

then it is easy to do this, since you can get the 
databases/BioCorba.version context, and then just call list() on it
to retrieve the names of all the databases.

Whew-almost-there-ly yr's,
Brad
