I think it would be usefull to allow the use of the SOAP Data Model and of the SOAP Encoding in the content of Header blocks. If we allow this, I think we should follow the same reasoning for the Envelope and Header element information items as for the Body element information item: the encodingStyle attribute is allowed on all these, it doesn't apply on these but only on contained element information items for which an encodingStyle is meaningfull. In this way, by defining the encodingStyle for the Envelope element information items, a sender is able to define once the encoding it used for a Header block content, for the Body content... Does it make sense ? Hervé.
