!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] in [DirXML] are have distinction is subtle but important. 


Many of the possible child elements of <input> can be interpreted either as [DirXML command] or as [DirXML event], depending on the [context], and have essentially the same syntax. 

In general, for elements that can be used as either a command or as notification of an event the following applies: 

* If the element is being sent to the [DirXML Shim] (ie [Connected Application]) then the element is a [DirXML command] 
* If the element is being sent to [DirXML Engine] then the element is a [DirXML event] (or notification). 

When the [DirXML Shim] sends an [DirXML event] to [DirXML Engine] the [DirXML Shim] is informing [DirXML Engine] of something that occurred in the [Connected Application]. [DirXML Engine] will then determine, based on configurable [DirXML PolicySets]/[DirXML Rules], which [DirXML command], if any, must be sent to the [eDirectory]. 

When [DirXML Engine] sends a [DirXML command] to the [DirXML Shim], [DirXML Engine] has already taken an [eDirectory] [DirXML event] as input, applied the appropriate [DirXML PolicySets]/[DirXML Rules], and determined that the change in the [Connected Application] represented by the [DirXML command] is necessary.
