Hi Folks,

Postel's Law says:

        Be liberal in what you accept, and 
        conservative in what you send.

How might Postel's Law be applied to web services that receive XML and sends 
out XML? 

Here's one idea: a web service is willing to receive UTF-8 XML documents 
containing a pseudo-BOM; the web service sends out UTF-8 XML documents without 
the pseudo-BOM.

Can you think of Unicode errors in inbound XML documents that a web service 
might be willing to accept?
