Isn't this the case with all new features? If you don't use it you don't use it. However, as one of the fundamental pieces of SOAP is the extensibility mechanism adding stuff should not have to impact the core protocol. One of the points that Noah brings up is if the extensibility mechanism indeed is good enough and that is a valid concern. Note, however, that SOAP is quite clear on that it does not define any ordering mechanism and it is not at all clear to me that it has to as part of the core spec. >Perhaps I wasn't clear - if someone doesn't use the feature >then they're stuck using the current SOAP spec, and if we >don't change the current spec then they're also stuck with the >current ambiguity. So, I believe that whether or not we do a >feature like this we still need to update the spec. -Dug Henrik Frystyk Nielsen mailto:henrikn@microsoft.com
