Intermediaries?

Hugo noticed that we have a requirement regarding intermediaries, but we 
don't say anything about them in our draft:

>| R031
>|
>|     The WG specification(s) SHOULD support SOAP 1.2 intermediaries.
>|     (From JJM. Last discussed 11 April 2002.)
>
>We say nothing about intermediaries, and I don't remember this being a
>conscious decision from the time I've been on the Group. The actor
>attribute is not talked about at all.

We discussed them at our 19 May 2004 F2F in NYC[1] where we decided to 
remove soap:header.  From the minutes, it looks like we were thinking that 
the AD feature would meet this need (to enable an appropriate role header 
to be set), and we later adopted[2] the AD feature.

Is there anything else that we need to do to meet R031, or are we all set 
on this?   And if we do need something additional in the spec, can we add 
this to tomorrow's agenda?
