Are we sure we want to get into PI's? One of the nice things about writing an efficient SOAP processor is you don't need to deal with quite all the minutia of general XML. As this discussion illustrates, even small features like PI cause complexity: must you fault? can you fault? what does it mean to understand a PI? If SOAP doesn't allow PI, do we really have sufficiently compelling reasons to reintroduce them? Also, it feels to me like there might be some question as to which PI's are to be interpreted generically to the envelope, and which would have to be understood by the code processing, for example, a header. Are we sure the value outweighs the added details to be gotten right (in both spec and code?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah Mendelsohn Voice: 1-617-693-4036 Lotus Development Corp.
