    Title: Message
    

    



    I'll put my 1.5 cents into this discussion, even though I didn't 
originally put my name for it :-)
    

     
    

    I think that it more than makes sense that we shouldn't ask the Consumer 
to parse and modify Flash content, Java applets, or any other binary 
format.
    

     
    

    The question in my mind (regarding the actual intent of this requirement) 
is: should the WSIA protocol *permit* some sequence of calls in which a WSIA Web 
Service that contains Flash/Java/ActiveX with links or forms would still 
work, even though it has user interaction, and even though "smart look-and-feel 
customization" (whatever this is) will not be offered.
    

     
    

    This point - although seemingly minor - may have significant implications 
on the actual protocol with regards to action routing.
    

     
    

    If we do decide that binary formats should be supported even at a basic 
level, then (at least according to my possibly limited understanding) this means 
that we must provide at least some way (not necessarily the "mainstream" way) 
for the Consumer to provide enough information to the Producer (who serves the 
binary data) so that the binary content is served in such a way in which all the 
actions are routed correctly to the Consumer. This means that the Producer has 
to take care of it, but it would make it doable.
    

     
    

    We at WebCollage have encountered some cases where people used Flash for 
parts of their applications, so it made sense for us to consider it. 
However, we need to decide whether this is something that the WSIA 
committee as a whole cares about.
