Statement of Interest in XML Hypermedia

Let's try this...


I am interested in a set of affordance definitions for the XML format for
effectively and efficiently expressing protocol-level state transitions
(i.e. follow this link, embed the content at this link the current
document, format a query string URL using the following arguments and send
the request to the server, format a body using the following arguments and
send it to the server, etc.).

I am esp. interested in a set of affordance definitions that are
"domain-agnostic", IOW ones that are not tied to a single problem domain
(accounting, document management, etc.) since this could allow/encourage
the creation of standard libraries (similar to other XML-related
technologies (XSLT, XSD, XInclude, etc.) that can then be applied to a wide
range of server and client implementations and problem domains.
