Hi Stuart,
I think I like the previous version better where we talked about an XML
Protocol Node being an XML Processor and its associated XML handlers
An XML Protocol Node is an encapsulation of XML
Protocol Handlers and their associated XML Protocol Processor.
And "sender" and "receiver" are roles where:
An XML Protocol Sender is an XML Protocol Node that
transmits an XML Protocol Message.
And
An XML Protocol Receiver is an XML Protocol Node that
accepts an XML Protocol Message.
(text taken from the latest glossary). Hope this makes sense.
My 0.02$ :)
