<br><br>Recently Sean Dague started some threads [1][2] about the future of XML

<br><br>I feel that we should move forward with this proposal and drop XML
<br>support from the v3 compute API. The ongoing cost in terms of

<span class="mailbox-inline-edit"> To clean the XML code out of the V3 API code (both Nova and Tempest) will involve a substantial number of patches though they will be pretty straightforward and easy to review. So to get this done in time it would be very helpful if some cores could commit to helping with the reviews.</span><br><div><br></div>

<span class="mailbox-inline-edit"></span><div>I'm happy to do so, but since I'll probably be writing many of the patches we'll need others as well.</div>
