From this viewpoint it is much safer to say that at least 1.0 > have to be supported. The same argumentation of not trying to fight XML 1.1 (even though using XML 1.1 on the Web is a really bad idea) generalizes to not fighting SOAP. :-/ People will use the vocabulary with SOAP, XML 1.1, EXI, etc. anyway. If someone wants to transfer XHTML5 infosets over SOAP, why should the spec insist on pure XML 1.0 support also being present? -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
