Our charter does require us to transport the current messages. I do understand that there is a strong contingent of people on this list who would like to establish a standard message format (XML has been mentioned) and I am sympathetic to that cause. While that is outside the scope of this working group at this time, I'd like for the transports that we do agree upon to be able to also transport any future event message formats. If any of the people on the list feel that our work/discussions are diverting from that, I'd appreciate it if they would bring it to our attention. I'll review your draft later today. Thanks, Chris
