Based on an in-depth review of the <resource> issue with Allen, it seems like we might be able to agree on using SOAP with Attachments (SwA) instead of the inline <data> element. Apparently that's more easily manageable from the implementation point of view. That would mean we'd forget the <data> element and use the <URI> element either for a local (attachment) reference or a remote (Web) reference. The warnings against using local attachments unnecessarily would remain as implementation notes. In the one-way "broadcast" situation that would mean sending a bit of extra XML in the form of the SOAP envelop. (Can someone tell me, would there be any need to transmit the headers in a non-HTTP transmission?) Any comments or constructive suggestions about this? - Art
