NLETS Web Service • TLETS will exchange information with NLETS in XML • Initially most message keys will only be delivered with an NLETS message embedded in the payload of the XML • In the future, local agencies will have the option to receive XML tagged responses • DPS will apply a style sheet to those agencies that do not want XML. But this will enable TLETS to format many messages uniformly.
