[MOBY-l] rules for passing "foreign" stuff with MOBY

[mwilkinson at gene.pbi.nrc.ca]

not yet.  For the objects that we define as "MOBY", we will almost certainly put that into the XSD when we get around to building correct schemas for our objects, but anything else has only a wrapper indicating what type of object it is, and a payload that *should not be parsed* by MOBY, and may
for that matter not be XML at all.

Or did I misunderstand your question?
