Do you recall the recent xml-dist-app discussion about the semantics of a SOAP message including the method of the underlying protocol? Noah wrote; 'I think it's useful and appropriate to separate the term "message" from "envelope". I think the destination and web method are surely part of the message.' -- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-dist-app/2003Feb/0005 Which says to me that sending a SOAP envelope with HTTP PUT means something different than sending it with POST (and any other application protocol method, for that matter).
