Thinking about it further, if this is true for VOSpec and all the rest, then passing the serialisation format as an arg rather than as part of the message may well be more user-friendly. If an app doesn't understand the format it can throw a fault saying precisely what the problem is, rather than the user wondering why AstroScope won't allow him to send the file to his favourite viewer. I think once this spectrum message is sorted we should continue our discussion about exception handling that we started at the Strasbourg meeting.
