A colleague of mine was showing me an RSS feed that the USGS is now publishing. Within each item, in addition to the normal title, description, and link elements, it also contains latitude and longitude values, among other things. This spun its way into a conversation around subscribing to events, and whether we need an EDL (Event Description Language) that would be analagous to WSDL. Essentially, at the time a subscription is established, the EDL could be pulled in, allowing the subscriber to integrate the data from those events in a much simpler fashion.
I'm wondering, simpler than what? AFAICT, HTTP & RSS seem to have things under control there, from both the functionality and simplicity POVs.
