RE: [ebxml-msg] Minor Modification

Hi Pete and all,

In a past conf call we have agreed the following about the eb:Partref
element:

·        
eb:id attribute will
be removed

·        
eb:idref is kept and
it can reference either an attachment via cid:blabla or
an XML fragment via #if-of-fragment)

 

The minor modification I propose here is
to replace the attribute eb:idref by the SOAP attribute href. The SOAP
attribute href plays the same role (it can reference an attachment via a value
like cid:blabla or an XML fragment). See SOAP 1.1 spec
(http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-20000508/#_Toc478383512).
The following is a paragraph from SOAP 1.1 spec (section 3):

 

=========================== Quote
==================================

            SOAP
uses the local, unqualified "id" attribute of type "ID" to
specify the unique identifier of an encoded element. SOAP uses the local,
unqualified attribute "href" of type "uri-reference" to
specify a reference to that value, in a manner conforming to the XML
Specification [7],
XML Schema Specification [11], and
XML Linking Language Specification [9].

=========================== End of Quote
==================================

 

Also, SOAP 1.1 with Attachment (http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP-attachments)
is using the attribute href in the same manner (see section 3, and listings).
