Will we be able to meet these interoperability goals?  Why or why not?

Yes, we can. If we define a small set of standardized attributes
(OS and app version, AV status, etc.) and make them mandatory to

Sorry, but doesn't "AV status" above refer to the existing, proprietary 
anti-virus
systems?  How does standardizing an attribute for carrying that help
create a standardized understanding of what it means?    Don't I still
have to treat that as, essentially, a vendor attribute, since I have
to know which vendor statuses cover which vulnerabilities?

Or do you mean "there is some anti-virus software here"?
