RE: SOAP 1.2 Test Suite feedback

I think it has been changed to where it MAY appear rather than where it
MUST NOT appear. It might have been clearer by saying where it MUST NOT
appear but I can go either way.

This IMO this should be clearly marked and alternatives at least called
out.

No, 'yes' was correct, it was a spec bug (which has been fixed).

Same as comment above - encodingStyle can not appear on elements
directly defined by envelope schema.

Great - thanks!
