Okay, getServiceNotes works with CDATA.

Well, something like the next one. This is an example from INB 
(http://www.inab.org) guys, which are stretching BioMOBY to its limits. 
You should note they are using a different namespace, so they are 
avoiding past, present and future XML tag collisions:

<moby:serviceNotes>
   <inb:Exception xmlns:inb='http://www.inab.org/errorMessages'>
       <inb:mobyData queryID='b2' severity='warning'>
         <inb:Value>incomplete_output</inb:Value>
         <inb:Description>IntAct DB engine was not 
available</inb:Description>
       </inb:mobyData>
   </inb:Exception>
</moby:serviceNotes>

Looking at the example, the structure is describing that answer with 
queryID 'b2' could be incomplete because some of the used databases was 
not available at runtime. INB prefers serviceNotes block instead of 
ProvisionInformation block because most of the warnings, and in general, 
exception information, comprise the whole output, which is a Collection 
for some services.

	The other drawback for ProvisionInformation is that it cannot appear in 
a mobyData outside any object, or even Simple or Collection 
declarations, so it becomes useless when you want (or need) to notify 
some information related to a Collection, or there is no answer at all 
because there was a problem with that query.

	Best Regards,
