| WS-Attachments
attempts to overcome three problems associated with sending attachments
in a SOAP message:
- Embedding binary data may screw up
the XML tags and throw off parsers
- Embedding other XML messages (including additional
SOAP messages) may throw off parsers
- There is a desire to break a message into
records and have random access to those records.

“SOAP
with Attachments” attempts to address the first two issues
although it leverages MIME to accomplish the task. The third issue
is solely addressed with WS-Attachments and DIME.
