Obviously, Base64-encoding is not an integrity mechanism. Makes sense. I'll change <Document> to contain a choice of: - <BinaryData> which is base64'd data and a MIME type - <XMLData> which is arbitrary XML Rich, your schema mentions transferring XML both in the clear and base64-encoded, and says something about "encoding" - are there character encoding issues that would necessitate base64'd XML, where the InputDocument might be in a different encoding than the protocol message?
