The '6999' thing is really one of the most stupid decisions in the Java Card spec, and it has led to numerous headaches, and I hope that we are better now. About your last sentence, I just love it, but I am not quite sure how to achieve such a synchronization. The main issue is that all these work groups work at the same time, and that when they synchronize, it is often too late. But we're trying.

SW1SW2 = '6999' is one of the incompatibilities between a pure Java Card and a GlobalPlatform card. MultOS gets rid of this problem by combining content management into the SC-OS. Still I think the Java Card / GP approach is the more flexible one. One just has to make sure that the specs are "in sync" with each other: JC, GP, VGP, MC and ISO.
