"Enjoying" it right now... here's a sample: <VirtualMachine xmlns="http://www.emc.com/caas" name="caasvm1"> <status>powered-off</status> <virtual-nic-list href=" 1.0.0.0/org/caas/vdc/caasvdc/vm/caasvm1/virtualnic/"/> <management-action-list href="1.0.0.0/org/caas/vdc/caasvdc/vm/caasvm1/mgmt/"/> <instance-type>large</instance-type> <public-ip>yes</public-ip> <fqdn> vm1.cloud.corp.emc.com</fqdn> <disk-size>1024</disk-size> </VirtualMachine> Almost there with the web linking, but not quite. Made me think about an XML based DSL with XLink <http://www.w3.org/TR/xlink/>... but not for long. And what is with CaaS? It appears everywhere... in XML namespaces, base URLs, object names (caasvdc, caasvm1, etc.). Oh hang on, EMC Compute Cloud ==> ECC or EC2!?! Sam
