Re: Clarifying optionality of HTTP binding

I was merely pointing out that the title of section
7 is currently: 7 Default HTTP Binding.

see http://www.w3.org/2000/xp/Group/1/10/11/soap12-part2.html#soapinhttp

I don't mind if we call it 'foo', just that we be consistent
in what we call it.

Cheers,

Chris
