> Would you be averse to something PSVI-like if it only meant returning a > much-restricted set of simple data types? It comes closer, but I'd have to think about it more before I commit my vote. :) As pointed out in other messages, no conventional programming language has native support for all the XSD primitives, so many of them are going to be mapped to strings (or subclassed, for type-safety). If you only had primitive types, then don't you lose default values for complex types? Doesn't that mean you now have to always send the container element? If so, how can you express container-with-nothing versus container-with-all-defaults? I may have a basic misunderstanding, but it seems like that opens a big can of works. In addition, once you limit to just primitives, it seems to me you can work purely on syntax/structure. So if you can use just syntax, and you can't omit complex containers, then you might as well work purely on syntax and throw out PSVI as a requirement for searching and querying XML documents. I'm in favor of that. Is there a flaw in my logic? /r$
