Hi Noah, > * So-called RPC-Literal, which seems to be emerging from the WSDL work > group. My understanding is that they are taking advantage of the > lattitude in SOAP to use [1] without [2].

There is a move to eliminate the document/rpc split in WSDL .. which would result in quite a simplification IMO. The WG has not yet accepted this, but I believe it is possible. RPC would then simply become an application of the request/response pattern. In all likelihood there will be some hints which indicate that the messages being sent are defined using RPC conventions in mind, but probably nothing more than that. This is all highly speculative and my personal opinion at this time. Sanjiva.
