Re: Comments on SOAP Version 1.2 Part 1: Messaging Framework

Hugo,

Please see the LC announcement[1] regarding the handling of attachments in
SOAP.
Specifically, in section III:

-- The XMLP WG plans to publish a document (probably as a W3C Note)
describing an Attachment Feature. This document will be started during the
Last Call period and should be completed before SOAP 1.2 becomes a
Recommendation.

My own personal preference would be for a defined use of XLink (simple?)
links to represent
references to resources external to the SOAP envelope.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Jean-Jacques.

For some reason, I didn't make the connection between this paragraph
and IDREFs. Rereading the text in the spec, I think that it is clear,
it is just that I had the recollection that it was using hrefs.

Can you please point me to the discussions about the IDREF/href
discussion? I couldn't find it in the issues list[1].

I wonder how you want to handle attachments, and also how I could
reference something out of the SOAP message, say
<http://www.w3.org/2000/xp/Group/xmlp-issues-lc-html.xsl>, given this
current text.

Regards,

Hugo
