		<outline text="RFC: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.xmlrpc.com/alidl&quot;&gt;A Little IDL&lt;/a&gt;. &quot;I decided to define a simple interface definition language in XML that's suitable for scripting environments, and see if people find holes in its functionality, or if it's useful, or something we want to do. It's little and human-readable. The goal is to have it work with scripting systems that are wired up to XML-RPC or SOAP 1.1.&quot;"/>

Features like automatic formatting that inserts headlines where you don’t want them, or Web site publishing that uploads a whole site instead of a single page can be axed with the click of your mouse. Even the animated-paperclip help system is switched off by default.&quot;"/>

There are now 39 personal aggregators running, according to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ourfavoritesongs.com/&quot;&gt;Top-100 list on OFS&lt;/a&gt;, up from 20-something last week. Last year at this time there were two. 33 SOAP 1.1 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.soapware.org/directory/4/implementations&quot;&gt;implementations&lt;/a&gt; on SoapWare.

Now, I read the article again and again and it just doesn't say anything.  All it does is list a bunch of things and then asserts that they don't work.&quot;"/>
