Which of these choices do you (or anyone else) prefer, for a <Document>'s contents: 1) XML can be plain or base64; everything else is base64 - <XMLData> <Base64XMLData> <Base64BinaryData> (with a MimeType attribute) 2) The way Rich's schema initially had it - like above, but also with the option for for un-encoded non-XML text: <XMLData> <Base64XMLData> <Base64BinaryData> (with a MimeType attribute) <TextData> (" " ") 3) The way it currently is: everything is base64'd <Data> (with a MimeType attribute) Trevor
