I guess I don't see why the notion of root is the right way to achieve that. If that's what we're trying to say, why not include the following clarification: "All element information items representing serialized nodes and envelopes must be within the scope of an encodingStyle="...soap encoding URI..". The number and placement of such encodingStyle attributes is not otherwise significant; ref attribute information items MAY refer to ID's in the scope of a same or different encodingStyle attribute, which MAY but need not be within the same SOAP body or header block. In all such cases, the result is a single edge (and therefore a single graph.)" The wording might be cleaned up, but I think that's clearer than introducing a notion of root. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah Mendelsohn Voice: 1-617-693-4036 IBM Corporation Fax: 1-617-693-8676 One Rogers Street Cambridge, MA 02142 ------------------------------------------------------------------
