ACTION-77: rewording Content-type discussion

Latest proposal for the wording of section 2.4 of the binding spec with 
respect to Content-type:

The contents of the JMS Message body MUST be the SOAP payload as a JMS 
BytesMessage or TextMessage.[Definition: Use fault subcode 
unsupportedJMSMessageFormat when the arriving message format is not 
BytesMessage or TextMessage. †]. The formatting of the SOAP payload is 
determined by the SOAP node, and should follow the same rules as for the 
SOAP/HTTP 
binding, as described in the following specifications:  SOAP 1.1 
specification, 
SOAP 1.2 specification, RFC 2376, RFC 2045.
The primary requirement is that the value used for the Content-type 
property must be 
consistent with the formatting of the SOAP payload.   For example, if the 
SOAP payload is formatted as a simple SOAP envelope, the Content-type 
value must be specified as "text/xml" for SOAP 1.1 or 
"application/soap+xml" for SOAP 1.2.  On the other hand, if the SOAP 
payload is formatted as a MIME multipart message, the Content-type 
must be specified as "multipart/related".   In this way, the 
SOAP node determines the proper formatting of the SOAP payload 
irrespective of the underlying JMS message, and specifies a corresponding 
value for the Content-type value which appropriately describes it to 
the receiving SOAP node.  Note also that if the payload is formatted as a 
MIME multipart message, then the first thing encountered in the JMS 
Message 
Body's  byte stream MUST be the MIME boundary for the start of the first 
part — 
what MIME Part One [IETF RFC 2045] section 2.5 
calls a "Body Part". The message will be encoded using SOAP Messages with 
Attachments [SOAP Messages with Attachments] 
or XOP [SOAP 1.1 Binding for MTOM 1.0] [SOAP MTOM], in either case with a 
Content-type of "multipart/related".
