  Recent studies of the high temperature soft photon production rate on the
light--cone using Braaten--Pisarski resummation techniques have found collinear
divergences present. We show that there exist a class of terms outside the
Braaten--Pisarski framework which, although also divergent, dominate over these
previously considered terms. The divergences in these new terms may be
alleviated by application of a recently developed resummation scheme for
processes sensitive to the light--cone.
