Issue - R50 - validating non-XML format message (soap with attachment)
Status: received

Date added: 29 Jan 2007

Origin: Public comment  (public comment list)

Date submitted: 25 Jan 2007

Submitter: Jingfeng Li

Description: In the current version of the spec, it implies that the message is XML
format.
The "validate" can be used to perform the validation checking of the XML
format
message.

But, what happens if the message is a soap with attachment? For example, how
to check its format, or do something like query some part of its?
