ICE Standard
As the Chair of the Authoring Group for the Information & Content
Echange (ICE) standard, I am pleased to find out about this list, as
the subject is, to say the least, something that the ICE AG is very
interested in. I haven't seen much discussion of ICE in the archive,
so I'd like to introduce ICE to the group.
To explain a little of the history of ICE, version 1.0 of the
standard
was submitted to the W3C (and is at http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-ice) in
October, 1998, with implementations available shortly thereafter. We
released version 1.0.1 at the end of 1999 based on feedback from the
various implementors, where there were additional examples and
clarifications, but no protocol changes. Version 1.1 of the protocol
is about to be released; driven by experience in the field, we've
focused on simplifying and generalizing some of the mechanisms in
ICE,
and in making it cleanly extensible at every level.
