Don't you agree? > No not really:) I think we're mixing up 2 different things. On one hand you have data content, and the other human readability. Xml can be formatted so that it's fairly readable for humans with nice indentation and all, but computers shouldn't care and surely shouldn't interpret the content of a messages differently based on indentation or additional whitespace, unless that is a "feature" of the language like Python. I don't think this is a matter of opinion really. The question really is "what is valid SOAP?" If the specification says that whitespace is not part of the actual data format, then ignore it. I don't know. The main problem now is that any SOAP library could be sending data to LuaSOAP, like the cxf one my colleague uses. So if cxf thinks it is sending a valid SOAP message, then LuaSOAP should not get picky about whitespace just because it feels like it. That breaks the whole idea of standardization.
