Scott,
Major agreed. If you open this Pandora's Box (which SOAP is doing!),
then you let in total chaos.
We all either agree to use a base standard and then strive to make
it work, enhance it et al - but charging off and creating a backdoor
where you can map anything else to whatever, is probably not
a cool idea at this point.
Example : - SOAP arrays - please, what's that? XML already happily allows
you to morph an array into a valid XML structure, so this is just
redundant confusion factor.
It's important to stay focused too. The SOAP overlap in the Transport WG
arena
is obvious - its less clear in RegRep.
Thanks, DW.
