I'm attempting to write code that consumes the web services from sharepoint.
The SDK describes the method's clearly enough, but fails to describe the
meaning of the attributes returned. Where do I find these meanings?

For example, GetListItems returns things that are both folders and files.
I've noticed an attribute that looks like this:
ows_FSObjType="1;#0"
It would appear that #0 is a file and #1 is a folder, but why #1 and what is
the "1;" for?

Many of the other attributes also have this mysterious X;#value pattern
where X is some integer. What do they mean, why are they there?

You extracted it from a SOAP xml file and according to the MSDN library the
1 in "1;#0" stands for the item id and I'm assuming that the rest is a place
holder of somekind?

Could you post more of the xml file me like to figure out stuff :)
