A yell from the sidelines: +1 ! Things would be much easier if well-formedness checking was not a requirement. - James M Snell jasnell@us.ibm.com http://www.ibm.com (877) 511-5082 / Office 930-1979 / Tie Line "Sanjiva Weerawarana" <sanjiva@watson.ibm.com> Sent by: xml-dist-app-request@w3.org 05/06/2003 11:49 PM To <xml-dist-app@w3.org> cc Subject final decision on well-formedness checking What was the final verdict from the discussion on whether a SOAP impl needs to do well-formedness checking? I would prefer if one could respond with a non well-formed response for bad requests such as those rather than to force every implementation to walk thru the whole message before doing anything. Streaming is dammed in that case. It seems to me that non well-formed requests are VERY unlikely (especially on TCP style streaming/reliable transports) except in the case of major SOAP stack bugs. Forcing well-formedness checking would cut out a major perf improvement opportunity to cover a case that's way off the 80-20 or 90-10 or even 95-5 split. Thanks, Sanjiva.
