Hello,

  The latest version of CAP submitted to internet-drafts.
Many changes were made since the last interim version was
posted. The biggest change was to use BEEP as the transport
mechanism in CAP. Please review it and send us your comments.

  You can get the latest version at:

  List of changes since the last interim version was posted:

o Transforming CAP to a BEEP profile:

   1. Remove duplication (things that are defined in BEEP)

        - Authentication                (AUTHENTICATE)
        - Encryption            (STARTTLS)
        - Session management    (DISCONNECT).
        - Pipelining of commands.
        - BEEP one-to-many exchange style is used for commands 
          that target more than one calendar (VCOMMAND, VRESULT).  

   2. Remove features no longer under the scope of a profile:

        - Auto-logout 

   3. Dissociate calendaring commands from the iCalendar objects.
                
        - Use the "application/beep+xml" mime content-type for commands
          and results, and "text/calendar" for the calendaring data.
        - Minimize changes to iCalendar.
        - iTip restriction tables can be reused as is.
        - SENDDATA is replaced by the following commands:
                1. create
                2. delete
                3. modify
                4. move
                5. schedule
                6. search

o Fixed many typos and added clarifications.

o Changed the calendar store model to allow
  VQUERY in CALSTORE.

o VSCHEDULE is now a "set" instead of a "queue"
  since a "queue" implies ordering.

o Removed unused and unnecessary definitions.
