RE: A URI for the class of SOAP MEPs

Maybe, but I wasn't intending to go quite that far. I was only saying that 
in this case, we have the opportunity to have two separate URIs:

1) A URI that refers to the class that contains all the MEPs for SOAP 
(we'd have to decide whether that's all possible MEPs or just the ones 
actually called out in W3C Recs.)

2) A URI for the section in the SOAP Rec that introduces the concept of 
MEPs

I was suggesting that in this particular case the costs of separating them 
are low, and the value potentially significant.  I think that will often 
be true in other similar cases, but I wasn't saying anything about default 
assumptions, legitimate exceptions, etc.
