> http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-harold-beep-xmlrpc-00.txt There are some questions concerning xmlrpc and some, most probably, even beep. 1. How it can work in local networks if IANA is not accessible and profiles can be received neither from the client nor from the server of such network? Or they are placed locally, if so why URL refers to iana.org ? I believe that it works, but how? It is not clearly documented by BEEP specification and is not considered in mentioned draft.

Few examples are given in the document, it is difficult to get complete understanding of the complex structured parameters representation. 3. Looking on the following example, any person can have idea, whether it is impossible to represent a call briefly and gracefully even using XML?
