So, why not transmitting it using base64 encoding in this case? At one point we were transmitting the DTD separately, in base64-encoded form. I suppose that's still an option (as is transmitting the DTD within the input document and encoding everything, as is transmitting Schemas, as is eliminating server de-referencing of ds:References, etc.: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dss/200505/msg00019.html ) Is there anything about processing instructions that causes problems, or necessitates base64 encoding?
