Re: Use of MIME multipart for zero payload containers


I also agree that we should remove the requirement that all messages be encapsulated in a MIME multipart/related "envelope". We left this in from the early days. In cases where there is no payload, then there probably should be only the SOAP:Envelope with a MIME media-type consistent with the SOAP 1.1 spec (for now) which would be "text/xml" (with which I have major heartburn, but that's what SOAP1.1 says, so we work with what we have at the moment). "application/xml" or even more suitably application/soap+xml would be preferable IMO (see recent posting from Murata-san on xml-dist-app) so as to be consistent with RFC3023 (and with 2048 before that).
