Joseph Boyle  commented on XDI-25:
----------------------------------

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_endpoint
"A communication endpoint is an interface exposed by a communicating party or by a communication channel. An example of the latter type of a communication endpoint is a publish-subscribe topic or a group in group communication systems.

A communication endpoint is a discoverable node of communication whose scope may be varied to narrow or broaden the discovery zone. Endpoints facilitate a standard programmable layer of abstraction whereby heterogeneous software systems and/or subsystems may communicate with each other and that the means of communication are decoupled from the communicating subsystems."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service-oriented_architecture
"Rather than defining an API, SOA defines the interface in terms of protocols and functionality. An endpoint is the entry point for such a SOA implementation."

> "XDI messaging is peer-to-peer between any XDI client and any XDI endpoint, or between any two XDI endpoints"
> Not sure I understand the difference being made between clients and endpoints. If the distinction is needed (?) we should define both terms and explain the difference.
