There is a need for standardized mechanisms to manipulate, install,
edit, and delete the configuration of a network device.  In addition,
there is a need to retrieve device state information and receive
asynchronous device state messages in a manner consistent with the
configuration mechanisms.  There is great interest in using an
XML-based data encoding because a significant set of tools for
manipulating ASCII text and XML encoded data already exists.
