SOAP 1.2 LC Issue: Clarification that HTTP does define a base URI

Section 6 paragraphs 4 and 5 [1] indicate that the base URI may be
provided by the underlying transport, yet the referenced HTTP binding
[2] in Part II makes no mention of this. In [1] it says:

"The underlying protocol binding MAY define a base URI which can act as
the base URI for the SOAP envelope (see 4. SOAP Protocol Binding
Framework and Part 2 [1] section HTTP binding)."

It seems like a useful clarification that we indicate that HTTP does
provide a base URI which is the Request URI as described in [2].
