Hi,


In psBase2 the NMWG implementation will be DOM-like, so all 'unknown' elements will be stored (or not) into generic Element.

There will be more options to store such requests (just a string), etc. so I think the best 'short term' solution is leave it as is and wait for psBase2.

The message for Candido is new development - I think it is a mistake to define new message formats with non-XML content inside them (this makes these messages more difficult to work with in standard parsing libraries) due to a limitation in only one of the parsing implementations. This is not just server side - it is all clients as well. Especially since a work-around has been identified for that one problematic implementation.


Fully agree, but we're limited by the implementation, so until we do not change it, we have to use it. The simplest solution is sending it as a string, although I agree it looks unreadable and strange. We should consider it as temporary and look forward for changing it as soon as the implementation allows.


Anyway, if there are only few non-NMWG elements, they should be of course implemented as an extension to NMWG jar, otherwise we should wait for new base2 implementation.


When do you expect the base2 will be released? Will it be ready for 3.1?


I don't think The Release Team has such plan. For 3.1 there are other priorities. But after 3.1 I'd like the top priority will be new base.
