Energy Market Information Exchange is an XML vocabulary to express price and characteristics, so the means of communicating is not part of the charter.

I can see how that is nice in theory, but I don't understand how that works in practice. At the very least any sophisticated modeling requires naming things. And naming things typically implies a way to reference those named things.

So I guess my question is - will the model be RESTful in that "things" are named and referenced with URIs?
