Won't they be forced to declare say their RDF as Base64-encoded? I know that sucks, but that's the reality of SOAP (and XML really): You can't embed HTML without base64 encoding it. Nor can you embed an XML document in SOAP without encoding it. If application/rdf+xml is used to carry an entire XML *document*, then there's no option but to encode it to carry it in SOAP. Text is slightly special and can obviously be done with just escaping instead of encoding but IMO its not worth special casing. Sanjiva.
