Re: [getf] Node MUST process? (was: [GETF] okay, here's an updateddraftwithHenrik's option B)

Close. How about the following minor tweaks:

The SOAP processing model specifies[1] how a SOAP node processes[2] a 
SOAP message. It applies to a single message only, in isolation from any 
other SOAP message. The SOAP processing model itself does not[3] 
maintain any state or perform any correlation or coordination between 
messages[4], even, for example, when used in combination with a feature 
which involves sending multiple SOAP messages in sequence, each 
subsequent message depending on the response to the previous message. It 
is the responsibility of each such features to define such combined[5] 
processing.

Jean-Jacques.

[1] I don't remember whether there was any introductory context. In any 
case, I thought an extra introductory sentence was necessary.

[2] I like "processing" better than "receiving" here. I think it's up to 
the MEP to specify what happens when a message is received. IMO, the 
processing model is concerned by the processing of messages only, not by 
their reception.

[3] I think the active is more appropriate than the passive here.

[4] "between messages" may not be necessary.

[5] I am unuse of the adjective to use here. I think we need to say 
point out to features as being the place where you define such 
functionality; but maybe you will think this should go into the MEP 
section section?
