Any characters are allowed in a string except < and &, which are encoded as < and &. A string can be used to encode binary data.
Does the "struct" element keep the order of keys. Or in other words, is the struct "foo=1, bar=2" equivalent to "bar=2, foo=1" or not? The struct element does not preserve the order of the keys. The two structs are equivalent.
Can the <fault> struct contain other members than <faultCode> and <faultString>? Is there a global list of faultCodes? (so they can be mapped to distinct exceptions for languages like Python and Java)? A <fault> struct may not contain members other than those specified. This is true for all other structures. We believe the specification is flexible enough so that all reasonable data-transfer needs can be accomodated within the specified structures. If you believe strongly that this is not true, please post a message on the discussion group.
There is no global list of fault codes. It is up to the server implementer, or higher-level standards to specify fault codes.
What timezone should be assumed for the dateTime.iso8601 type? UTC? localtime? Don't assume a timezone. It should be specified by the server in its documentation what assumptions it makes about timezones.
