Re: Schema Element in Manifest

[christopher ferris <chris.ferris@east.sun.com>]

To enable the recipient to know what the payload is external
to the payload itself so that it can determine whether it can
process the payload, or possibly to do more interesting things
such as use of a dedicated parser for that schema...

It is optional in any event.

Cheers,

Chris
