Does anybody really use IOTP? Does anybody use ECML? Regarding ECML I believe it is built on bad idea from a security/privacy point of view as attributes should be released by the user in a controlled way and that is in conflict with an arbitrary HTML page. In a "competing" standard I am involved with, we scrapped ECML for a set of attribute enquiry schemes which is much easier to implement GUI-wise (giving a predictable and consistent behavior) and does not lump together disparate data like payment instruments and shipping addresses.

I got a request during Crypto 2004 for more complete indexing in the wake of trying to find all references related to MD5 ... so I finally got around to addeding document refs to the summary field. and somewhat aside ... generated a brand new set of summaries just related to MD5 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/rfcmd5.htm this is another publication of the IOTP working group of the IETF. Long ago and far away the group started out as trying to map Mondex to Internet environment. Other works that the IOTP working group has done is ECML. if you click on the actual RFC number in the summary, it brings up all the ways the RFC is indexed; i.e. 3867 - Internet Open Trading Protocol, application program interface if you click on "Internet Open Trading Protocol", you get the list of all the RFCs from that working group (or at least the list since I started tracking/keeping RFCs by working group) ... aka: Internet Open Trading Protocol 3867 3506 3505 3504 3354 and the respective summaries: 3506 Requirements and Design for Voucher Trading System (VTS), Eastlake D., Fujimura K., 2003/03/13 (15pp) (.txt=30945) (Refs 2801) 3505 I Electronic Commerce Modeling Language (ECML): Version 2 Requirements, Eastlake D., 2003/03/13 (8pp) (.txt=13915) (Refs 2246, 2801, 3106) 3504 Internet Open Trading Protocol (IOTP) Version 1, Errata, Eastlake D., 2003/03/13 (6pp) (.txt=8655) (Refs 2801, 2802, 2803) 3354 Internet Open Trading Protocol Version 2 Requirements, Eastlake D., 2002/08/15 (6pp) (.txt=9671) (Refs 2246, 2801, 2802, 3106, 3275) aka: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/rfcidx11.htm#3506 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/rfcidx11.htm#3505 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/rfcidx11.htm#3504 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/rfcidx11.htm#3354 -- Internet trivia, 20th anv: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/rfcietff.htm
