As much as I want to change the behavior of the spec I think conclusion #5 is wrong. This mandate of not ignoring MU headers is limited to the processing that goes on _within_ one SOAP node not to the entire message path. On a side note, there is no way to distinguish between a valid actor that was never hit and an invalid actor - both end up with the same end result - it's ignored. -DugReceived on Friday, 18 May 2001 21:47:34 UTC
