I understand that I can use XmlDataLen(212) and XmlData(213) tags in the standard header to embed the XML message that I want to transmit. Will this message need the body or since we have the message in XmlData, the body can be omitted.

Can someone also point me to the document where this issue is mentioned?

Thanks
