I wonder how much complexity the protocol software can actually hide from the application. It seems that structures for tracking all of the outstanding requests and handling their responses are bound to make it into the application code, especially if multiple responses to the same request are allowed. On another note, has anyone here had a chance to look at my XP draft? We are using XML for everything on the wire, and I thought it would be useful to take a stab at formalizing that fact as a basis for many different kinds of protocols. It tags requests and responses, as a wire protocol must, but a software implementation could still take the "mux" approach. Tom Harding
