Re: XML protocol comparisons

Regarding HTTP-NG, we tried to write up what the design requirements which
you can find in section 2 in the now otherwise expired IETF internet draft


http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP-NG/1998/11/draft-frystyk-httpng-overview-00

 I think they are still relevant.

Before this turns into a list of any protocol conceived in this space, it
might be useful to start thinking about how the various protocols relate to
each other. For example Don Box has proposed a XSL Transform from xml-rpc to
soap that you can find at

    http://soap.develop.com/xmlrpc/
