OSGi and MEF (.NET) comparision?

'lo all,

Earlier today I was listening to the latest Hanselminutes podcast [1] with
Glenn block about the .NET Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) [2] and
found that it sounds fairly similar to OSGi over on the Java side (thou I
suspect OSGi has more power).  Has anyone here had any experience with MEF
to know how the compare (sans VM differences) - does MEF have any neat
features that OSGi could do with 'borrowing'?

...and then Buffy staked Edward.  The End.

They do update the spec:

Maybe someone in the working groups is keeping an eye on the competition:
