Hi Tom,

currently I am working on the WFS 1.1.0 implementation and hopefully 
will have something working soon.

You mention "the OWS Common approach to service metadata" - I have 
found some owslib interfaces in interfaces.py file and I am trying to 
follow them. Is there any dedicated standard regarding the OWS common 
approach to service metadata? If yes, could you please point me to that? 
If not, I wonder what do you mean, because reading through various 
standards and their different versions I find that actually they have 
very little in common :-) It's a pity thing though, it makes the whole 
stuff really messy.

Kind Regards,

Michal
