RE: issue #144 proposal - array metadata in SOAP Encoding

Right.  Thanks. I thought that mine is cheap to implement, fully
expressive and is more efficient than forbidding combination of
position-bearing and non-position-bearing elements.  It is a pretty
simple algorithm.

I think that my version implicitly forbids elements prior to Offset, but
this could be made explicit if that is clearer.  I agree with the desire
to forbid out-of-sequence elements; these are unnecessary and almost
certainly represent errors.

 Andrew,
 I have gone a step further in my proposal (see the last
iteration [1]), I have forbidden combining members with and
without explicit position.
 I agree though that your set of rules would work as well. It has
the benefit of being able to explicitly specify the position only
on the first member in a contiguous segment of transmitted
members.
 My last iteration has the benefit of stating that there is
nothing before the offset, but I think this could easily be added
to your version as well. 8-)
 I tend to leave my restriction and move to your set of rules but
this may be making the rules a little more complex than
necessary.
 Best regards,

                   Jacek Kopecky
