If so, then my view is that 7bit and 8bit are inappropriate labels for binary data sent from SOAP Infosets. The fundamental responsibility of any SOAP binding is to preserve the Infoset, character for character. Among other things, this is essential to make sure that digital signatures work. I am strongly opposed to any definition of MTOM or Miffy that results in a "binding" that fails to preserve the characters in the Infoset. -------------------------------------- Noah Mendelsohn IBM Corporation One Rogers Street Cambridge, MA 02142 1-617-693-4036 --------------------------------------
