New Attachments Issues

All,

Following the resolution of issue 429[1], I'd like to raise the 
following new issues:

1: "What are the semantics of attachments w.r.t. SOAP intermediaries. 
E.g. do we expect intermediaries to preserve what is serialized as 
attachments and what is serialized inside the SOAP envelope."

2: "How does the binding determine which nodes to serialize as 
attachments ?"

Amongst the many possible answers, the following spring immediately to 
mind:

(i) We don't specify that.
(ii) An implementation specific mechanism (similar to (i) but we 
explicitly say so).
(iii) Its triggered by something in the infoset - if so, what.

Thanks,
Marc.
