Hi Jake,

In response to the summary

	http://groups.yahoo.com/group/soapbuilders/message/2803

I pointed out that this is a problematic use of SOAPAction and that it
is a bad idea not to take into account the request URI because it
fundamentally breaks HTTP.

SOAPAction is *not* a replacement for the request-URI and there is
nothing in the description in

	
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-dist-app/2001May/0053.html

That hints at this use. SOAPAction is much more aligned with the content
type in indicating what is *in* the message rather than where it *goes*.
