Re: Clarifying optionality of HTTP binding

I think it should be called the "SOAP HTTP Binding" (omitting the "default"
qualifier) -- the nature of the optionality of the binding is specified in
the nature of those things described in SOAP Part 2, and I think adding
"default" to the HTTP description is confusing.

typo: s/me/may/

also, haven't we been calling this the "default" HTTP
binding? [1]. Shouldn't we be consistent in calling it that?

Cheers,
