Dan,

You made several comments on the SOAP 1.2 Last Call WD[1,2] which were
recorded as Issue 316[3] in the XMLP WG Last Call Issues List[4]. During
a recent face-to-face meeting the Working Group closed the issue with
the following resolution:

We broke the issue into several questions:

Q1: How do applications describe what they send/receive?

A1: We consider it to be out of scope for our spec to define how
applications that use the SOAP encoding to encode data describe their
data structures.


Q2: When should I use the SOAP encoding?

A2: We do not consider it to be the job of our specification to tell
people when to use the SOAP Encoding ( i.e. it's out of scope )


Q3: May a graph contain more than one edge with the same originating and
terminating node?

A3: Yes

Q4: And can such a thing be serialised?

Q4: Yes

Q5: In the current Encoding rules?

A5: Yes. E.g.

	<narcissus id='me'>
         <name>Martin</name>
         <bestfriend ref='me' />
         <otherfriend ref='me' />
	</narcissus>

Q6: In other hypothetical encodings?

A6: Yes ;-)


I hope this clarifies the issues you raised. If you are unsatisfied with
the resolution please let the XML Protocol WG know as soon as possible.

Regards

Martin Gudgin
