	Simple Request for XML (SRX) Specification Version 0.9
	------------------------

	SRX is perhaps the most straight forward method of sending and receiving a 
	structured message between an HTTP client and server. It is simpler than 
	SOAP, and can be tested with any web browser which supports HTML forms. It 
	also has the benefit of being tightly integrated into HTML, so it's easy to 
	add to an existing web site.
	
	The idea is to take what is currently the most common way of sending 
	structured data to a web server, that is using HTTP GET or POST with 
	url-encoded form data, and receive the response in XML. That's it. SRX does 
	not try to invent any new method of sending data, as HTTP GET and POST 
	already have a way to do that, and it's included in just about every 
	available browser. What is missing is a structured response format, as HTML 
	does not provide a simple way to do that.
	
	SRX does not define an XML namespace or any specific XML elements, as that 
	is up to the implementation to define what the XML contents should be. SRX 
	simply requires sending an HTTP GET or POST to a web server and then getting 
	an HTTP response containing XML data.
	
	Any message API can be written using SRX, by simply defining the set of HTML 
	FORM elements with allowed data types and values for each. Then one or more 
	corresponding XML responses must be defined, including namespace and 
	definition of allowed elements and attributes for each. If you want to get 
	fancy, you can define a full schema for the response XML. Make sure to include 
	a clear explanation of each XML response and what it means.
	
	serviceInfo Element
	
	A "serviceInfo" element may be used in an SRX response to indicate the name 
	and version of the current service. The element contains a "name" and "version" 
	attribute. It is recommended to place the serviceInfo element at the top of an 
	SRX response body.
	
	The name attribute can be any case-sensitive alphanumeric string (names can 
	include "-" and "_") up to 255 characters. The version attribute can be any 
	alphanumeric string (can also include "." and "-") up to 255 characters 
	corresponding to the version of the service currently in operation. Any 
	serviceInfo elements which do not contain a name or version value must be ignored.
	
	It is recommended to encode text as UTF-8. If such encoding is used, it must be 
	properly declared in the HTTP header as well as in the XML body as follows:
	<?xml encoding="UTF-8"?>
	
	That's it. It is a simple specification, so why ramble on.
