I can't see how to combine "options" and "document" in p:http-request without some aspect of deciding a priority for one over the other. That seems error prone for the user. If we want a simplified p:http-request that operates on options only, let's just make separate step (e.g. p:simple-request) I think p:http-request is already complicated enough without adding another way to invoke it. -- --Alex Milowski "The excellence of grammar as a guide is proportional to the paucity of the inflexions, i.e. to the degree of analysis effected by the language considered."
