Mike Dierken asked a number of questions about use of a "namespace identifier" to qualify the MIME type of a SOAP message. (Henrik proposes something like this in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-dist-app/2000Dec/0159.html ) Discussing this as a namespace identifier misses the main point. The essential issues are a. Is the MIME type qualified by a name from a centralized registry of permitted names (e.g. soap) or by a URI (e.g. http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap). b. Does the qualification appear as part of the MIME type (e.g. text/soap+xml) or as a distinct parameter (e.g. text/xml; use="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap")?
