Gudge says: I'm afraid I don't understand any of the below. Why could MTOM multipart/related packages not be transmitted over HTTP? Or SMTP? All we are saying in PASWA/MTOM is that for the multipart/related 'package' that contains the SOAP envelope every other MIME part in that 'package' MUST be referenced by EXACTLY one xbinc:Include in that envelope. Dale replies: OK, with that clarification (which I proposed in about the 3rd paragraph), my concerns are lessened a bit. My point was that you cannot prohibit, for example, combining that multipart/related MTOM bundle with something else in, for example, a multipart/mixed or a different encompassing multipart/related. If you did assert that those combinations were prohibited, you would be violating what is officially allowed for the MIME entity conveyed by SMTP or HTTP transports. What is the difficulty in understanding that? However, you are not prohibiting those combinations, as you have now indicated. Thanks for your clarification.
