I took an action item to write up a strawman proposal for metadata and the Representation header. Here it is: 1. For each MIME header create an attribute information item in the [attributes] of the Representation element information item 2. Set the [local name] of the AII to the name of the MIME header 3. Set the [namespace name] of the AII to http://www.w3.org/2003/11/soap/metadata (actual URI TBD). 4. Set the [normalized value] of the attribute is the value of the MIME header. Note that this is just a strawman to start discussion. My own take is that this approach is actually the reverse of what we actually want. I suggest that we actually start by deciding what metadata we care about in two cases: a. On a Representation element information item b. On an arbitrary element information item whose content is in canonical base64 and then define a mapping from that metadata to the appropriate MIME headers. Part of my action was to attempt a classification of MIME headers into two 'buckets' along the lines of a and b above. I have not had time to do this. Apologies. Let discussion ensue! Gudge
