Henning:

Yes, I think assistance would be helpful. Could you elaborate a little on
how XML could meet these kinds of requirements?

1) "referencing cache data"  -- in transient caches and data carousels

2) "querying caches"  -- to determine what is currently in them and
available

3) "supporting session management"  -- i.e. identifying, launching,
subscribing, terminating multiple streaming sessions.

I think a key challenge if finding the right level of abstraction -- some
people think of all this a high-level, authoring issue, some think of it as
low level exposing of the syntax of things like MPEG transport streams.
