Hey Kon,
As far as I know the discussions about the EDXL header have been SOAP
exclusive as shown in the documentation handed off to us by the DHS group
via EIC. I agree that we must also look at other transports in the future
but are trying to get this piece worked out first. While we had "Other
distribution types in common use" on the agenda for todays meeting, we
didn't get to that point. I was looking to Bob Wyman to chime in on this
as he seems to have a good bit of experience in the area but missed him on
the call too. Our next call will be 3/24 at a bit more reasonable time for
you west coast folks (10:30 EST), I hope you can join. Hopefully the list
discussion will continue in the meantime. Thanks for your comments,
Elysa
