First of all, XML Packaging has been discussed for a long time, and I think it's fair to say that it's a term that covers a quite broad range of use cases. Whether XML Packging will emerge as an effort that has the scope to cover things like S+A and Dime is very much TBD in my opinion. In any case, I think attachment packaging needs to be on a per-binding basis. Now that we're infoset based, even the XML envelope need not be sent in "<" form; that too is on a per-binding basis. If XML Packaging comes up with something good, then it would be a good thing if the authors of binding specs gave serious consideration to using it. I don't think we can reduce the whole attachments problem to XML packaging. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah Mendelsohn Voice: 1-617-693-4036 Lotus Development Corp.
