Remarks

A message consists of headers and a body. The headers are buffered and the body is streamed. Because the body is streamed, the user cannot pass the actual content of the body to a message. Instead the user must pass a class that knows how to write the body when required to do so. This is done by passing a class derived from BodyWriter to the Message. A message calls the class derived from BodyWriter whenever it requires the body to be written using an XmlWriter.
