We should 
  put this on the agenda next call.

  
 

  
But that 
  needs more thoughts: there are several aspects to consider, in addition to the 
  primary focus on infoset optimization (base54 ).

  
We need to 
  look at the handling of messages that are initially in several [heterogeneous] 
  parts (i.e. not  suitable to represent as a SOAP envelope 
  anyway)

  
I would 
  expect the MIME XOP package for SOAP to be of interest to us, and here we 
  need to look at the implications (e.g. role of the SOAP body compared to 
  a SWA approach, etc.)

  
 

  
I wouldn't 
  make the CR status a major plus... (many "notes" have had no acceptance 
  problem )

I have to admit, this Microsoft fellow does make some sense. If we are 
    moving to SOAP 1.2, why not also move to XOP? A CR is more solid than a 
    Note, is it not?

Matthew, Microsoft believes that the MTOM work 
    http://w3c.org/TR/2004/CR-soap12-mtom-20040826/ (shows the direction for the 
    future in this area and would encourage you to move to that direction 
    instead of updating a deprecated spec.

Gentlemen, 

    
I'm contacting you as the original authors of the SOAP With Attachments 
    

    
W3C Note dated December 11, 2000. I am the current editor of the OASIS 
    

    
ebXML Messaging standard (ISO 15000-2), and an working on the next 

    
major release of our standard (v3). Version two of ebXML Messaging 

    
made use of SOAP with Attachments which is specifically bound to SOAP 

    
1.1. In Version 3, we would like to use SOAP 1.2. 

    
The SwA note's contents would only require modest changes / amendments 
    

    
to allow it to support SwA applications that are migrating to SOAP 1.2. 
    

    
As a courtesy to the original authors of the Note, I'm asking for your 
    

    
advice on how to proceed. I see it going one of two ways: 

    
a) The original authors (and other interested parties, perhaps) submit 
    

    
a new Note that includes provisions for SOAP 1.1 and 1.2. 

    
b) We (possibly including Adobe, Fujitsu, British Telecom, Cyclone 

    
Commerce and Sun Microsystems) submit a note that effectively overloads 
    

    
the original note to specify what needs to be different in the MIME 

    
package (the mime type, for example). 

    
Your comments / intentions would be greatly appreciated. 

    
Regards, 

    
Matthew MacKenzie
