Somewhere in this thread I lost with whether or not my SOAP application would be able to predict the datatype of an external reference without accessing the resource. I gather that the answer is "not through SOAP". I can guess from the URL. I can make an extra element. But the system doesn't say. Its Smalltalk, not Pascal.
