I don't believe that addresses the issue. IMO, a simple way to address this issue would be to say that the HTTP binding that we have defined can be used in a manner that preserves POST semantics, but that it's up to the developer to use it that way - the same way it's up to them to use it without SOAP in the picture. The inclusion of RPC in the spec is, by definition, misusing POST semantics, but we were chartered to provide such a solution, so we should just be able to say that we were "following orders". A more thorough way to address the issue would be to describe how another HTTP binding could be defined on the other HTTP methods. My suggestion for using a GET body (sorry, Mark 8-) was just such an attempt. MB -- Mark Baker, Chief Science Officer, Planetfred, Inc.
