My understanding is that supporting BEEP requires supporting 
XML because <start>, <greeting>, <profile>, and other XML 
elements have to be supported. Please correct me if I am 
wrong! I just want to make sure that XML-enemies know that 
BEEP relies on XML...

It is possible to limit XML support to rigid parsing of the 
few documented elements (we have done that in Web Polygraph 
benchmark, for example). However, such limited support is the 
"wrong thing to do" in general and is likely to cause 
compatibility problems in the future.

Alex.
