RE: LC 76 - What makes a msg WS-A?

This is exactly why I brought up this example. You can look at this two
different ways: 
 
-- We follow SOAP processing rules. Hence, the headers that are marked
mU=0 may be ignored. 
 
-- WS-Addressing is engaged, therefore all the headers, including those
that are marked mU=0, are processed. 
 
I am asking that we clarify our position. 
 
If we would like to follow both the SOAP processing semantics, and
achieve processing of all the headers, a combination approach, namely
marking all the WS-Addressing headers consistently  (i.e. treating them
as a 'virtual' bag) will make sense. 
 
Noone so far has come forward and explained why one would prefer a
combination of mU values, or the use cases that would support.

	If you have a WS-A endpoint then by definition all WS-A headers
will be processed independent of mU semantics.  I cannot see how a WS-A
header could be 'ignored' when performing WS-A processing on a WS-A
endpoint.  Notice, I didn't address the dual-use scenario since I don't
believe this belongs in the spec.
	
	Correct me if necessary, but isn't it just that simple!

		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.
