Have you tried looking at an actual SOAP message? Text-based it may be, but it's about as human-readable as the crud that MS Word's HTML exporter produces. And in that case, if a person can't easily parse it visually, then what advantage does it give to offset the major disadvantages like up to an order of magnitude more bandwidth consumption? -- dido "The only thing of value passing through a politician's brain is a bullet." -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
