I would even go so far as to say that for the community that is XML dependant the nomination you make is the only workable one.

Subject: OCSP-X vs SCVP
A few weeks ago, there was a brief discussion of OCSP-X vs SCVP. The
only
consensus point was that we need to have one PKIX solution for
certification path validation, not two. However, we did not pick one of
these two alternatives. I think we need to pick one. We should not put
further efforts into two solutions.
There are at least three communities that need to be served by this
protocol: very lightweight clients, organizations that want centralized
control, and clients that do not parse ASN.1 but understand XML. I am
not
sure that there is consensus about these user groups. If not, we need
to
get to consensus ...
If these are the user groups that we are trying to satisfy, then I think
that SCVP is the better answer.
Let the debate begin ...
