Jim,
This is not my recollection from the phone conference. I believe that I
also brought up this alternative, when Bob Herriot indicated that he saw
a problem with including the document data within an XML body.
I think that the more important issue is whether we find consensus that
going down the XML lane at all makes sense at this stage.
