As already discussed on the list REX is not a possibility due to Patent issues. ReX is being dropped by the W3.org.
"Patent Advisory Group Recommends W3C Stop Work on Remote Events for XML (REX 1.0) 2007-08-03: A Patent Advisory Group (PAG) for the WebAPI and SVG Working Groups has published its report, which suggests that W3C stop work on Remote Events for XML (REX) 1.0. W3C launched the PAG when France Telecom excluded patent claims from the W3C Royalty-Free Licensing Commitment. W3C continues work on a future, differently scoped version of REX in the Ubiquitous Web Applications Working Group. W3C appreciates the cooperation from the patent holder, France Telecom, in helping the PAG reach their conclusion. http://www.w3.org/News/2007#item170"; On 9/27/07 9:30 AM, "Thomas Charron" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 9/27/07, Janne Savukoski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> > Hi, >> > Just in case no-one had happened to consider, there's the W3C's spec >> > "Remote Events for XML" (http://www.w3.org/TR/rex/) which could (or >> > not) be used in xep 228, Shared Editing.
