Re: Short-Term DIAL Evolution

Hi Kevin,

I totally agree wrt the Delivery Context functions !!! I was suggesting

This would likely take the form of a set of expressions which would be understood by compliant processors on servers (and potentially clients), and would hence allow portability of DIAL documents. As mentioned at [1], such an API would be based on the Delivery Context ontology, and could be bound to XSLT functions to allow a quick plug-in to existing documents.
