Micah -- I don't understand what you mean here. I thought allowing
late-binding actually free the end-users from having to know exactly what
piece of code to run where. You seem to think the other way?

Subject: Re: issues on IRML & rule processing for OPES
5) Currently IRML supports only static and exact action
binding in the
<action> element. It is proposed that late and flexible (or
not-exact)
action binding might also be desirable. How can IRML
facilitate both? In
another word, how can we allow people to say "do exactly
this translation
service by this vendor at this location", or "just do
whatever virus scan
you have".
This is no longer a rule-based service, it is end-user programming.
