Erik: I don't know if it helps. It might help to have an example of where a rebuild is necessry
13:07:46 [Steven]

13:08:30 [Steven]
Steven: We could either include an actual example, or just warn of the situations where it might arise.
13:08:42 [Steven]
\Erik: It was too long before, now it is too short.

Erik: I could add an example.
13:11:05 [Steven]
Steven: That would be great
13:11:32 [Steven]
ACTION: Erik to supply an example for why a <rebuild/> would be needed
13:11:33 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-2113 - Supply an example for why a <rebuild/> would be needed [on Erik Bruchez - due 2017-03-29].
13:11:54 [Steven]
Topic: ACTION-2049 - Look into making soap non-normative, and use as a
13:11:54 [Steven]
usage example with <header> instead

Steven: I studied this section
13:13:03 [Steven]
... I can find no part that can't be done with vanilla XForms
13:13:36 [Steven]
Erik: The current definition adds the SOAPAction header
13:13:43 [Steven]
Steven: Do you do that?
13:13:46 [Steven]
Erik: Yes.
13:14:51 [Steven]
Steven: The point is that you can do this very simply with standard XForms; the header element is there for it.
13:15:42 [Steven]
... the only win in making it a normative part is that you don't have to add the one header.
13:16:07 [Steven]
Erik: It ensures little things, like the charset parameter
13:16:37 [Steven]
... it's not doing nothing.
13:17:08 [Steven]
... We could deprecate it. But we lose backwards compatibility.
13:17:29 [Steven]
... I don't feel strongly about it.
13:17:39 [Steven]
... You can still achieve the same effect.
13:18:19 [Steven]
Alain: It's implemented in XSLTForms.
13:18:33 [Steven]
Steven: So youu're suggesting leaving as is?
13:18:43 [Steven]
Erik: We could deprecate it.

13:19:48 [Steven]
Erik: I'm not sure how used it is.
13:20:13 [Steven]
Steven: Funnily enough, I'm writing a SOAP app in XForms now: most wireless routers contain a SOAP server.
13:22:08 [Steven]
PROPSAL: Deprecate, and point out that it will still be possible with existing facilities of XForms.
13:22:11 [Steven]
Erik: OK
13:22:13 [Steven]
Alain: OK
13:22:36 [Steven]
ACTION: Steven to deprecate SOAP processing in the processor
13:22:36 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-2114 - Deprecate soap processing in the processor [on Steven Pemberton - due 2017-03-29].
13:22:55 [Steven]
Topic: Serialization as multipart/related
13:22:55 [Steven]

13:23:12 [Steven]
Steven: Do we have anything to say on this yet?
13:23:27 [Steven]
[Silence]
13:24:22 [Steven]
Erik: I know you don't like the magic in this
13:24:37 [Steven]
Steven: I don't like that you don't have any control.
13:24:59 [Steven]
Erik: A <part/> element could be the solution
13:25:38 [Steven]
... it made sense originally to tie it to <upload/>
13:25:45 [Steven]
... but that is clearly limited
13:25:59 [Steven]
... you don't know how the submission knows about the things.
13:26:17 [Steven]
... Clearly the full mechanism gives you control.
13:26:26 [Steven]
s/gives/would give/
13:26:41 [Steven]
... but I don't know if we can fix the current system.
13:27:09 [Steven]
... it relies on 'secret' information that some parts have been populated from a certain control.
13:28:04 [Steven]
... and that may change dynamically during the workings of the form
13:29:07 [Steven]
... the implementor has to keep some information around, like a MIP
13:29:21 [Steven]
... we have custom MIPs in our implementation
13:30:33 [Steven]
Steven: OK, let's think about it more...
