I think I'll patent SNMP traps as "low-bandwidth extensible DRM
technology". Redirected cron output, EDI, RSS, too, while I'm at
it.
Looking at archive.org, it seems adventnet.com had XML-based
notification before Axeda even existed. Also interesting is
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/1999/08/bluestone/
and search for "notification". Some additional quick Google
searching turns up tidbits such as
http://www.voiceshot.com/public/casestudyid57702.asp
http://devresource.hp.com/drc/specifications/wsrf/
http://www.opensec.org/articles/000001.html
Then we have various registrars and payment gateways and their
XML-based interfaces, which include notifications and state.
So why are Axeda and USPTO oblivious to all this?
