Not quite--it is *a* protocol. A schema would be an application-specific protocol built on top of DAV. There are presumably going to be plenty of people trying to do such protocols; Jim's just trying to set up a uniform way to describe them, and a place to publish them, so that people can share their work, and try to get some ad hoc interoperability, even if they don't have IETF blessing for their protocols. -- /=============================================================\ |John Stracke | My opinions are my own | S/MIME & HTML OK | |francis@ecal.com|============================================| |Chief Scientist | NT's lack of reliability is only surpassed | |eCal Corp. | by its lack of scalability. -- John Kirch | \=============================================================/
