Also remember that being a SOAP intermediary is message specific, 
and hence may not be a full time job. A SOAP node may be a SOAP 
intermediary for some messages and the ultimate SOAP receiver for 
other nodes.

In practice, I suspect there will be SOAP nodes though that will 
only and ever be SOAP intermediaries.
