FYI, Henrik responded to my question about "SOAP gateways". The thread is here; http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-dist-app/2002Oct/thread.html#18 Like I said there, it's unfortunate the spec is written to prevent SOAP-nodes-that-are-gateways from being called intermediaries (or even "SOAP gateways"), because that necessarily makes the definition of SOAP intermediaries less useful - certainly a lot less useful than HTTP's use of the word, which is much more powerful and general. We can still talk about gateways in the context of the WSA, just not refer to them as "SOAP intermediaries" (because they aren't), nor "SOAP gateways" (because SOAP doesn't define that term).
