Unless people do follow them, they're useless. However, once Sylvain has officially launched the OCamlForge, I'm planning to launch an "OSR standard library" project consisting on a layer on top of the INRIA standard library, with all the features of the INRIA standard library but upgraded to compliance with OSR. I hope distributions would eventually treat as the official standard library. And yes, this will probably mean including a reworked version of ExtLib. For this, of course, we'll need volunteers. I'm personally willing to work on adapting the standard library to exceptionless error management. I hope someone else will be willing to work on character ropes and Unicode management, which I believe are the other most critical issues at hand, once we have an OSR agreement.
