I sent a note a few days ago that I think bears on this. As far as I recall, the constructions that make clear that comments are ignored are in the Schema Structures spec, not datatypes. I don't have the text available, but structures basically says that validation is done on the _character_ children of an element or attribute, skipping comments, etc. I _think_ that datatypes is silent on how you get from text in an XML document to a string of charcters to validate against a type to integer. So, I think the general conclusion is right, but we may need a bit of SOAP spec cleanup to get all the details in there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah Mendelsohn Voice: 1-617-693-4036 Lotus Development Corp.
