Micah: The XMLP WG has decided to close issue 358 [1] without taking any action. This was a duplicate of issue 336 [2], the resolution text was: <_336> The XML Protocol WG considered issue 336 today, an issue that you raised on the SOAP spec's statements about the length of URIs. Rather than having some statement containing overlapping SHOULDs (SHOULD support URIs of arbitrary length and SHOULD support URIs of length 2048), it was felt that the existing text already provided appropriate motivation for handling URIs of arbitrary length. Therefore, no change is being made to the specification. </_336> Quoting directly from an email[3] on the xml-dist-app email: <furtherReasoning> ...a MUST requirement hard to enforce: 1) We don't enforce any max number of URIs to be used in a SOAP message which could then be interpreted as saying that we require infinite buffering on a SOAP node. 2) Related to 1), we don't enforce any max size on a SOAP message itself 3) The current text makes it clear that "Any SOAP node MUST be able to handle the length of any URI that it publishes" so we do have a MUST requirement for any given SOAP node. </furtherReasoning> Regards, Don Mullen (on behalf of the XML Protocol WG) [1] http://www.w3.org/2000/xp/Group/xmlp-lc-issues.html#x358 [2] http://www.w3.org/2000/xp/Group/xmlp-lc-issues.html#x336 [3] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-dist-app/2002Sep/0118.html
