The major difference is that netamqp is based on ocamlnet's async event 
system whereas Ocaml-amqp is based on Core Async.

The bindings not only exposes the AMQP 0-9-1 protocol, but also
tries to give the developer a higher abstraction layer for using 
standard Amqp patterns.

The library is written in my spare time, and has not yet been battle 
tested in a production environment (Although I expect this to happen soon).

Please be aware that even though I do not expect major changes to the 
API, the library is still in heavy development. Please send feedback, 
including suggestions on the API so that these can be incorporated into 
the next version.

That is currently not a priority. I was considering it when I started 
though.
