I'd originally offered four possibilities: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2002Dec/0092.html Is option 3 being discussed most because it is the easiest to implement?

I agree, specific to SOAP, however, my initial discomfort was in the discussion of removing entities from future versions of XML, which I -do- still feel strongly about.
