Mike Sample writes: | Is there a standard way to include binary data directly within an | XML/RDF document? Or must one use indirection or ad-hoc encoding such | as: | | <foo href="http://somewhere.com/the_data.bla"/> | | or | <foo enc="hex">A103EF92B7</foo> Not a standard, but you might consider ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-masinter-url-data-03.txt which expires tomorrow. I don't know whether the author expects to update it. It defines a data URL like data:[<mediatype>][;base64],<data> in which the payload is encoded in base64 and the mediatype is a MIME type. It's SGML/XML-safe.
