	Let me clarify my point. It may seem orthagonal, but it is not.
We are discussing how SOAP processing semantics should behave when it is
combined with WS-Addressing semantics. 
	 
	It seems to me by abiding SOAP Processing rules, the receiver is
at liberty to ignore the headers that are marked as mU=0, right? If I
was writing a client, I would most likely will not mark some of my
headers mu=0 in order for all of them to be processed by the received. I
would mark all my MAH as mU=1, otherwise I can not expect the receiver
to process them if we are only requiring SOAP processing model. 
	 
	For the second example you bring up, again, by following the
SOAP processing model, I could just ignore the offending headers and NOT
generate an error. 
	 
	 
	What this illustrates me is that SOAP processing semantics is
NOT adequate to interpret the MAH alone or to verify whether a message
is wellformed! You want to treat the MAH as an implicit bag. You need
additional rules on top of what you do with mU headers or force the
sender (client) to use mU consistently to get the desired effect, which
was my original proposal.  
	[MJG] Please define 'you' above. Sender? Receiver? Both?
Software developer? Admin?
	 
	To answer Matt, the mixed case is a very real use case. Not all
clients will support WS-Addressing. An endpoint will need to support
both kinds of clients, those which may engage WS-Addressing and those
which don't. 
	 
	I am trying to achieve consistent behaviour. If we will depend
on mU for engaging WS-Addressing, then we should really be enforce
consistent behaviour.

		There are a few (somewhat orthogonal) things going on
here;
		 
		1.    The message sender specifies, using mU='true' and
mU='false', which headers it requires the receiver to process and which
headers it is happy for the receiver to ignore.
		 
		2.    The message receiver has a set of headers it
supports.
		 
		3.    The message receiver has to follow the SOAP
processing rules.
		 
		Let's assume for a moment that the message receiver
supports all the headers that the message sender puts in the message. In
such a case, one could argue that the values the message sender
specifies for mU are irrelevant, that is the receiver will just process
all the headers it supports. Conversely, one could argue that a
receiver, despite understanding all the headers, is still at liberty to
ignore headers marked mU='false'. 
		 
		I sense in this thread a desire to *force* the first
case, that is a message receiver MUST process all the headers it
supports, even if they are marked mU='false'. I don't know why we would
want to mandate that behaviour.
		 
		Let's now look at a message that violates one of our
spec contraints, one that has multiple wsa:ReplyTo headers perhaps, or a
wsa:FaultTo with a missing wsa:Address element. I can see an argument
that says a message receiver that supports those headers should generate
a fault because the message is malformed. I can also see an argument
that says if those headers are marked mU='false' then the message
receiver can ignore them even though they are malformed.
		 
		Again, I sense a desire to force the first case (I'm
slightly more sympathetic toward this one...)

			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.
