       -   Which companies interop with what other companies; build bridges between the pockets
    -   Interop testing
        -   Don't boil the ocean. Start with small targets. Let the question "what are we trying to accomplish with interop?" guide the targets.

        -   Bonnie Yau of IDLab mentioned they're working on a framework, starting from (or modelled after) the Aries Agent Test Harness.
