SOAP pt5 defines a pretty handy set of conventions for encoding edge-labelled graph data in angle brackets. I believe the relevance and utility of documenting this technique extends beyond SOAP / Web Services. One might, for example, use this dialect of XML to put structured data into the hypertext Web (ie. posted on Web sites, or in news groups, mailing lists etc.). My bias here is towards the possible use of SOAP pt5 serialization as a possible new syntax for encoding RDF data graphs; see my research scrapbook notes from last year (http://www.w3.org/2000/09/XGraph/) for some pointers to previous discussion of XML graph encoding syntaxes. Having the SOAP serialization stuff in a separate doc would be very useful from that perspective. While I realise the use of SOAP serialization as an RDF syntax isn't a priority for folk here, I just wanted to point out that partitioning the spec in the way sketched might open up some new applications for this part of the SOAP design. --danbri
