Afternoon all,

I've been looking at the various formats available for our representations and have added the following ones to OCCI Infrastructure<http://occi.googlecode.com/hg/docs/occi-infrastructure.html>. Now before you savage me for not including your favourite format or including one you don't like, bear in mind that this is just to give people *suggestions* as to formats which may be suitable, not *recommendations*as to which ones we prefer - that's for the market to decide. The exact wording is "The following representation formats are identified (but not necessarily recommended) as possible candidates for this kind".
