RE: Issue 146 proposed resolution

Only as a mandatory extension and only by effectively redeploying *all*
existing SOAP nodes. Without a targeting mechanism, it furthermore
becomes very difficult to not just have passive forwarders. This all has
a *very* high cost and will be fragile as a result.

We had this discussion a long time ago - I would strongly recommend
focusing on solving the outstanding issues of which there are plenty
rather than going back in circles.
