Yes.  But not quite yet.  Watch for public announcements from the AMQP
WG quite soon, on the spec and roadmap.

We are looking at this right now.  Have you seen our .NET
documentation?  That gives a flavour of where we want to go.  We are
keen to involve everyone in this discussion.  Let us know if you want
to get involved.

I think it is fair to say that AMQP's model needs native support in an
API.  Especially outside Java, or to 'take full advantage' of AMQP.

At the same time, JMS is a major standard.  I quite understand anyone
wanting to use it.

Thoughts?
