Bearing in mind that I have my tongue embedded firmly in my cheek here... I have an excellent content package that will either work with binary data directly included or passed-by-reference, and I am working on Importers for DSpace & EPrints as we speak... as outputs of the OA-RJ Broker work. On a serious note: yes - the transport mechanism should be agnostic to the content... unless one wants to define a content transfer mechanism rather than a transport mechanism :) -- Ian Stuart.
