At the Cannes F2F, we identified an issue against SOAP 1.2. SOAP specifies that XML Infosets are the fundamental unit of messaging in SOAP, and that it's the binding's job to faithfully transport the Infoset. However, there are some Infosets that bindings will not be capable of transporting, because different versions of XML are capable of serializing different ranges of Unicode characters. For example, an XML contains several control characters that are not legal in XML 1.0; furthermore, there are characters that are legal in an Infoset that cannot be serialized in any existing version of XML. As a result, it may be necessary to clarify what SOAP1.2 is capable of transporting, and/or clarifying the responsibilities of a binding. -- Mark Nottingham Principal Technologist Office of the CTO BEA Systems
