Re: Issue 189 proposals:

Hi Dave.

I am afraid that your answer didn't completely clear up my confusion.

Here, you are saying that the rest of the XML is not serialized at all
— in the message body, I presume.

And here you are saying that the message body is the entire Artist
element, which I understand to mean that the rest of the XML is being
serialized.

The second version makes sense to me, otherwise we would lose
information. So this is the one I have implemented. Please check:

    3.8.1.2 Case elements NOT cited in whttp:location attribute
    http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2002/ws/desc/wsdl20/wsdl20-bindings.html?rev=1.58&content-type=text/html;%20charset=utf-8#_http_operation_location_notcited_get

and:

    3.8.1.2.2 Serialization in the message body
    http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2002/ws/desc/wsdl20/wsdl20-bindings.html?rev=1.58&content-type=text/html;%20charset=utf-8

If I still got it wrong, can you please send me a diff or an updated
XMLspec version of Part 3?

Sorry to be having difficulties with this one.

Regards,

Hugo
