Joseph asked: > "The Service SHOULD return a requested data element if it is available. > The Service MAY return additional data elements that were not requested. > In particular, the service MAY return data elements specified in the > request with the response." On what basis wouldn't the service return > the data asked of it? Would this mean the client would imply the value > doesn't exist, or some "binding" is invalid, or only indeterminent? If that's a quote, I think it needs rephrasing, but I kind of like the idea that the server can give back more than was asked of it. What do others think? (esp if there's someone who's only writing client code) Stephen. -- ____________________________________________________________ Stephen Farrell Baltimore Technologies, tel: (direct line) +353 1 881 6716 39 Parkgate Street, fax: +353 1 881 7000 Dublin 8. mailto:stephen.farrell@baltimore.ie Ireland http://www.baltimore.com
