If they do it the XML way (with out reading) they MUST surely embed  
the XML string
into the request. The addition of the isWBXML flag is my own  
invention to make the
size of the PDU a LOT smaller...

Request ::= SEQUENCE
{
	isWBXML	BOOLEAN,
	data	 OCTET STRING	 -- Put you XML or WBXML request data here
}

Response ::= SEQUENCE
{
	isWBXML	BOOLEAN,
	data	 OCTET STRING	 -- Put you XML or WBXML response here
}

This is very similar to how Nokia is using Corba/Java RMI in the NPS  
(Nokia Profile Server)

	String resolve (String request, String sessionID)

The request is of course XML and the response is... XML
