Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Walter Hoehn <>]

SPML specifies query formats for searching, adding, deleting, and 
modifying.  So, in a sense, it abstracts away these representations.  A 
diff'ing function would only have to understand SPML search results for 
the downstream side of its comparison.
