Question: Why did you downgrade the HTTP GET/POST binding to SHOULD? I
think the charter makes it clear that they are a MUST. I am particularly
sensitive to this issue because the WSDL 1.1 definition of the HTTP
GET/POST bindings has problems (they are not orthogonal to the portType).
SOAP 1.2 Binding
DR061
[MUST/SHOULD] Charter: It is expected that in the near-term future,
Web services will be accessed largely through SOAP Version 1.2 (the
XML-based protocol produced by the XML Protocol Working Group) carried
over HTTP/1.1, or by means of simple HTTP/1.1 GET and POST requests. The
Working Group will describe the following bindings:
1.
[MUST] SOAP Version 1.2; SOAP can be used over a variety of
underlying protocols; the Working Group will provide a concrete SOAP
Version 1.2 over HTTP binding.
2.
[SHOULD] HTTP/1.1 GET and POST requests.
