I am reading a “basic setup guide” for an IT product at the moment which weighs in at 56 pages and includes the statement:

It is assumed that you have knowledge of evolving Internet protocols, such as:

• Extensible Markup Language (XML)
• Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
• Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)
• Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) digital signature concepts and Internet security
• Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TSL)
• Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP and HTTPS)
• Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs)
• Domain Name System (DNS)
• Web Services Description Language (WSDL)

God help anyone who wants to read the real “Administrator Guide”
