For the goxml API, could you point us to the formal description

There are toolkits available for download too (the Perl flavor is best)
This API acts on a dynamic index. There is also a cache mechanism which is
built so duplicate queries are handled very quickly. The cache expires when
the update cycle is completed.
The XQI API returns only a pointer to the data as a URL. I think that this
is a fundamental building block for a query mechanism in the cases where
multiple distributed repositories may be queried. In other words, GoXML's
XQI is not a registry or a repository per se but a search mechanism which
can handle multiple (ie "distributed") repositories.
When a query response comes back to the client, the client can then employ
a "get" request to grab the object from it's location. The current catch is
that the object MUST be in well-formed or valid XML syntax.
I look forward to your thoughts.
