Subject: [ubl-ndrsc] [Fwd: "Guidelines for the Use of XML in IETF Protocols"]
It's interesting that this was written, but it turns out not to have very much to offer us... -------- Original Message -------- Subject: "Guidelines for the Use of XML in IETF Protocols" Date: Sat, 6 Apr 2002 11:47:48 -0800 From: "Larry Masinter" <LMM@acm.org> Reply-To: <LMM@acm.org> To: <ietf@ietf.org>, <discuss@apps.ietf.org>, <ietf-xml-mime@imc.org> CC: "'Paul Hoffman / IMC'" <phoffman@imc.org>, "'Marshall Rose'" <mrose@dbc.mtview.ca.us>, "Scott Hollenbeck" <shollenbeck@verisign.com>, <ietf-xml-use@imc.org> Abstract: The eXtensible Markup Language (XML) is a framework for structuring data. While it evolved from SGML -- a markup language primarily focused on structuring documents -- XML has evolved to be a widely- used mechanism for representing structured data. There are a wide variety of Internet protocols; many have need for a representation for structured data relevant to their application. There has been much interest in the use of XML as a representation method. This document describes basic XML concepts, analyzes various alternatives in the use of XML, and provides guidelines for the use of XML within IETF standards-track protocols. Intended Publication Status It is the goal of the authors that this draft (when completed and then approved by the IESG) be published as a Best Current Practice (BCP). Submitted to the Internet Drafts, but available now at http://www.imc.org/ietf-xml-use/draft-hollenbeck-ietf-xml-guide.txt or http://www.imc.org/ietf-xml-use/draft-hollenbeck-ietf-xml-guide.html with a mailing list ietf-xml-use@imc.org , archive at http://www.imc.org/ietf-xml-use/index.html "To subscribe to the mailing list, send a message to ietf-xml-use-request@imc.org with the single word subscribe in the body of the message.
