Note: Describing Media Content of Binary Data in XML

The XML Protocol Working Group and the Web Services Description Working Group have completed Describing Media Content of Binary Data in XML and published the document as a Working Group Note. The note specifies how to indicate the content-type associated with binary element content in an XML document and to specify, in XML Schema, the expected content-type(s) associated with binary element content. Use of these attributes is expected to improve the handling and description of binary data in Web services messages. Visit the Web services home page.
