Let's see... ah; quite recent... SOAP 1.2 Attachment Feature http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/NOTE-soap12-af-20040608/ There's a figure in section 5 that shows a binary .wav file packaged with a SOAP message. But you'd never guess that the document is related to the problems of sticking binary data in/near XML from its abstract: "This document defines a SOAP feature that represents an abstract model for SOAP attachments. It provides the basis for the creation of SOAP bindings that transmit such attachments along with a SOAP envelope, and provides for reference of those attachments from the envelope. SOAP attachments are described using the notion of a compound document structure consisting of a primary SOAP message part and zero or more related documents parts known as attachments." -- John Wilbanks W3C Fellow Semantic Web - Life Sciences http://www.w3.org/People/all#wilbanks wilbanks@w3.org 617-253-5845 (direct) 617-838-6333 (mobile; best voicemail #) --
