New TAG Issue: endPointRef-47 (was Re: New issue; WS-Addressing SOAP binding & app protocols)

Mark,

The TAG discussed the issue that you proposed at its distributed meeting 
on 24th Jan [1] and decided to add a new issue to our issues list [2].

I would like it to be clear that this decision should not be seen as 
implicity supporting for your position or rejecting the WS-Addressing 
WGs position.  <>It is an indication that the TAG would like to spend 
more time discussing the issue and understanding its architectural 
signifiance (if any) more fully.

Best regards

Stuart Williams
On behalf of W3C TAG
