We settled on BytesMessage because it allows all our use cases without yet another parameter. If we allowed other kinds of messages as well we'd need to have another property to differentiate. If nodes (SOAP nodes that is) are going to use this binding to communicate, they will be prepared to accept BytesMessages - the only use case I could see for TextMessages as well would be to communicate with other systems that are NOT aware of this binding... and that's out of scope for us, I think.
