Is this not covered by the term "Active intermediaries"? I think this was one of the important points agreed to in Cannes [2]. From [1] it says: In addition to the processing performed by forwarding intermediaries, active intermediaries undertake additional processing that may modify the outbound message in ways not described in the inbound message. That is, they may undertake processing not described by header blocks in the incoming message. The potential set of services provided by an active intermediary includes, but is not limited to: security services, annotation services, and content manipulation services. >The current definition of SOAP Intermediaries in section 2.7.1 >[1] takes >into account only the case where the forwarding of the message is >requested by one (or more) SOAP blocks or by the MEP. > >I think that some SOAP nodes may decide to forward a SOAP >message using >other criteria. Nevertheless, I think that those nodes MUST act in the >role of a SOAP intermediary. I think in particular that that might be >the case for active intermediaries.
