</h4>

<div class="expand_description">
|
|
<p>This document describes an Abstract Model of XML Protocol.</p>
|
|
<p>The challenge of crafting a protocol specification is to create
|
|
a description of behaviour that is not tied to any particular
|
|
approach to implementation. There is a need to abstract away from
|
|
some of the messy implementation details of buffer management, data
|
|
representation and specific APIs. However, in order to describe the
|
|
behaviour of a protocol one has to establish a set of (useful)
|
|
concepts that can be used in that description. An abstract model is
|
|
one way to establish a consistent set of concepts. An abstract
|
|
model is a tool for the description of complex behaviour — it
|
|
is not a template for an implementation... although it should not
|
|
stray so far away from reality that it is impossible to recognise
|
|
how the required behaviours would be implemented.</p>
