RE: AFTF requirements, pre-2003/01/31 telcon

Well, I'm not certain that a synthetic infoset is EXACTLY what I want,
because, ideally, I'd like to be able to serialize my infoset using XML
1.0 + namespaces. 

Not that I'd want to do that in the general case, because one point of
this exercise is to allow binary data and other stuff that doesn't fit
well into XML 1.0 serializations to be serialized efficiently...

But certainly the infoset you would get by parsing the SOAP envelope, as
is, is not the infoset I want.
