It is not specified. Based on what I can follow in this thread, engaging
WS-Addressing appears to be indicated by using mU. Let me make this
clear. I am not saying that this should be the only way, but I am not
aware of an alternate way from the receiver's side to detect
WS-Addressing is engaged or not since we are relying on the SOAP
processing model only. 

Putting this aside, assuming that WS-Addressing is engaged, my question
still applies.
