Not quite sure what you mean, because the situation is almost
identical to a WSDL document declaring that a service accepts a given
schema. The main differences are;
a) WSDL is typically interpreted at design time, while the Accept
statement is discovered at runtime, and
b) media types are less brittle than schemas, because they identify a
sequence of compatible schemas
