Re: Issue 25 Proposal

Gudge,

Your (first) proposal:
        <env:Envelope xmlns:env='http://www.w3.org/2001/06/soap-envelope' >
          <env:StuffYouMUstUnderstand>
            <!-- Stuff the end point must understand goes here -->
          </env:StuffYouMustUnderstand>
          <!-- streaming point is now here -->
          <env:Stuff>
            <!-- Stuff you don't have to understand (including stuff referenced from
        above) goes here -->
          </env:Stuff>
        </env:Envelope>

was pretty much exactly what I had in mind:

So the question is -- what are the pros and cons of going this route?

  What does it break?

  What are the advantages (apart from unification of header/body/trailer
  and establishing a streaming point)?
