I was looking at the survey of XML protocol techniques at http://www.w3.org/2000/03/29-XML-protocol-matrix. I think it would be relevant to include the HTTP Messaging incorporated into xmlCIM, the XML encoding of the Common Information Model (CIM), being developed by Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) as part of the Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) initiative. http://www.dmtf.org/spec/wbem.html Microsoft has incorporated CIM into its implementation of Windows Management Instrumentation, and I'm sure it would be easy to use SOAP instead of the xmlCIM <message> elements to carry CIM declarations. I don't know whether a standard way to do this will emerge, and how CIM and WBEM might eventually support a standard XML protocol. CIM is also related to Directory Enabled Networking and LDAP, so their experiences interacting with directory services may also be of interest to W3C.
