The Intermediary Rule Markup Language (IRML) is an XML-based
language that can be used to specify rules for the execution of Web
services in general and OPES content services in particular.
OPES services are a new class of applications running on network
intermediaries, such as caches, proxies, gateways, etc. or dedicated
(callout) servers. They are invoked through intermediaries acting on
behalf of application endpoints. IRML is designed to serve as a
simple and efficient, but yet powerful language to express the
service execution policies of application endpoints. IRML rules are
typically processed by intermediaries that trigger the execution of
OPES services according to these rules and policies.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-beck-opes-irml-03.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
