Good, thank you!

Right. The proposal clearly says:

"We propose one new builtin role to be called:
http://www.w3.org/2002/06/soap-envelope/role/relay .  In most
respects, this role would be like any other.  Any intermediary or
ultimate receiver MAY choose to assume this role.  "

Yes, the ultimate receiver has to be able to play this role.  If the name 
is for any reason misleading I'm sure the WG can stage one of its "name 
the role" contests.  Thanks!
