I don't really see the difference.  If when they are used they become
SOAP headers how can they be view any other way?  I believe you said you
wanted to use the SOAP processing model to process them and that 
processing
model is (excluding the Body stuff) all about how/when to process headers.

Personally, I think reading the text for wsa:Action and interpretting it
to mean "dispatch data" and then going even further to meaning that it can
become "the payload" to the point where the Body is empty (ala WS-MDEX) is
reading far more into wsa:Action than reading "ref.props. are headers" 
from
the ref.props defintion.

In both cases the text is sufficiently vague to allow all sorts of 
readings
and I'm hoping the WG will, after the votes and hanging chads are counted,
make the text explicitly clear.
