However, for a complete implementation we would need to have less a
priori knowledge about the messages required to interact with the
external process, e.g. start, stop.
We are currently using a new element that has some attributes, but would
like to investigate using something analagous to IDL via a SGML DTD and
have the objects described both my their MIME type and the IDL-type
specification of the commands to expect when controlling the process.
Anyone else thinking along these lines?
