That's probably true, but every time estimate I've made for this  
process has turned out to be dreadfully optimistic. Given that we're  
talking about changing the XML wrapper that the browser is in charge  
of interpreting, and given how unpredictable and difficult to debug  
browser differences often are, I'd say this is about right.

If you'd like to look at the code it's at src/main/webapp/js/cosmo/ 
service/translators/eim.js, it's certainly not as elegant or well  
architected as I'd like, but it's a reasonably well tested first draft.

Bug 8720, though I think where we left it was with me doing the CMP  
work. Things got a little confused because of the data format switch,  
so we should probably go back and rethink whether this one makes it  
on the schedule :)
