   Grand.  Does etc include WFS? In any case, I'd love to get a look at
the details.  Layering various applications interchanging data through
a mixture of lightweight and heavyweight standards and storing them in
spatially enabled databases seems to be a very logical direction to
move in.  

   A direction to think about down the road for both weather data and
velocity/bearing data are the OGC efforts towards Observations and
Measurements schemas and Sensor Observation Services.
