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.
