If it were the case that sync/async were merely a question of blocking
or non-blocking, WSA (and SOAP, and.....) would have nothing to
say on the subject, since our specifications are silent on the
question of implementation.

However there is an alternative viewpoint (that sync/async is a
property of message exchange patterns), and this has nothing
whatsoever to do with implementation, blocking, threading and so forth.
