Re: issue: type of 'href' referenced data?

 Jean-Jacques,
 what I meant with this issue is that in SOAP Encoding, every
piece of data must have its XSI type (either from the document
itself or from a schema) - see rule #2 in section 4.1 [1] of the
Adjuncts - but in the case of external references we only have
(and not even always) the MIME type. It seems the spec should say
something about this situation. 8-)
