There may be a misunderstanding here: we already have non-XML serializations, namely application/x-www-form-urlencoded and multipart/ form-data. In those cases, the source is always an XML document, but the serialization over the wire is not XML. The @serialization attribute controls which serialization is used. That defines an implicit mediatype (application/x-www-form-urlencoded and multipart/form-data). What I am saying is that in those cases, @mediatype should also be usable to set the Content-Type. Doing otherwise seems an unnecessary restriction dating back to XForms 1.0. -Erik -- Orbeon Forms - Web Forms for the Enterprise Done the Right Way http://www.orbeon.com/
