Quick question(s): Is it the intent of this WG that SOAP Encoding (and associated datamodel) be deployable as a "stand alone" data format for Web documents? (ie. deployed in the HTTP-GETable web alongside XHTML, SVG, MathML, SMIL etc., as well as in protocol exchanges). Could (for example) Google's indexer expect to stumble across a filetree full of SOAP Encoding XML files? Would it be reasonable to anticipate writing HTML or X-Link hyperlinks that points to HTTP GET'able URIs which dereference to SOAP-Encoding? Might one create a Web site with data exposed in Encoding, rendered to XHTML clientside using a browser's built-in XSLT support? I expect the answer is "people can use it for whatever they find it useful for". From spending a little time looking at SOAP Encoding, my expectation is that we _will_ see it used in these contexts, and that this might address some of the concerns associated with the 'REST' slogan...
