If it were merely going to be a better Second Life Map API, then it 
probably wouldn't have any relationship to the AWG, but the goal, as I 
understand it, is not only to make it "better," but to make it usable 
for 3rd-party grids and sims. That certainly intersects with the short 
and long-term work of the AWG, especially if the same or similar 
inter-grid data is to be used inside the client for things like TP 
destinations. You can't TP from a SL sim to an OpenSim sim (or back) 
without having a destination, and in-keeping with the idea of making the 
meta-grid interactions as seamless as possible, people will want to see 
a map image of where they are heading, if at all possible. THAT is 
certainly an AWG issue.
