RE: Opaque data, XML, and SOAP

Since publishing that paper at XML.COM, many people have been asking the
exact same thing. I had several developers come up to me last week at
XML Web Services One and thank us for validating the approach they've
been using in deployed systems. In at least two of these cases, the
developers looked at SwA (and WS-Attachments) and opted for the simpler
approach that lets them stay in the world of XML.

I certainly prefer the idea of using XInclude better than SwA or
WS-Attachments. But why not just use base64? It's really the better way
to
go.
