I'd be concerned if we completely disallowed intermediairies to change the lexical representation of a message. First, we would not be able to use off-the-shelf DOM parsers, since (I believe) most of them throw away the original XML. This restriction may go away in the future as parser's adapt to SOAP's special needs. Second, a resource constraint device acting as an intermediary may simply not be able to store the entire message and reproduce a byte-for-byte identical copy. Jean-Jacques.
