Considering that 1) we are focusing on the "wire format" only; 2) the
word "object" was considered out of scope (DR019), I propose we find a
better wording for:
"program or object and procedure or method"
Noah suggested adding "service" to this list. I think we are looking
for a word that captures the notion of an end point/port capable of
executing a piece of code (script, method, procedure, database query,
whatever).

Original text:
The XML Protocol will contain a convention for
representing calls and replies between RPC (Remote
Procedure Call) applications. The conventions will
include the following:
1.Unique specification of the program or object and
procedure or method to be called based on URI
syntax.
2.The ability to specify the parameters to a call in a
request message and the results of a call in a
reply
messages.
3.Provisions for specifying errors in a reply
message.
Where possible, an attempt will be made to leverage
any related work done by the IETF. .
