I wonder what is the definition of "self" in the self-describing document? An XML document would not be "self-describing" without the MIME type being transferred. Also, a resource is defined by having a URI. Then, the interpretation of a resource can certainly be written in a different document under the same URI by way of content negotiation. For instance, the RDF document of URI can be used to offer the interpretation of a binary stream under the same URI. Would this be called self-describing? Xiaoshu
