Agenda: This BoF will discuss the IETF taking on generic work in XML resource manipulation. It is not the intent of this BoF to charter a working group, but to review a proposal currently being put forward in SIMPLE and to discuss whether work of this type is a reduplication of existing work, a useful adjunct to existing work, or an appropriate replacement for existing work. The BoF will discuss: - draft-urpalainen-simple-xml-patch-ops - draft-mouat-xml-patch Attendees should review these documents carefully. Attendees may also wish to review other work on XML resource manipulation, including - http://xmldb-org.sourceforge.net/xupdate - http://validate.openlaboratory.net/patch/ Speakers: Jari Urpalainen, problem statement for xml-patch-ops
