RE: Listing request names

[capple@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Christopher W Apple)]

About temporary schema listing request names: I think that the current
way of handling this SHOULD be replaced with Paul Hoffman's suggestion of
providing schema writers with a way to obtain one or more via some protocol.

I see no problem with a real-time protocol from the end-user's perspective,
provided that Paul wants to deal with the implementation from the service
side. This could be more difficult than its worth because of threaded web
servers; he might have to deal with maintaining state across multiple
stateless protocol transactions; or maybe there is a way to configure
whatever web server he's planning on using to process requests serially?

SMTP may be simpler to deal with because the server could be configured
to process incoming requests serially.
