Closing XML Protocol editorial LC issue 265

Martin,

The XML Protocol WG has decided to close editorial issue 265 [1] raised
by you without changes to the specification. The justification follows
below. If you cannot accept this resolution then please send your
concerns to the <xml-dist-app@w3.org> mailing list [2] indicating the
issue number of the issue in the subject.

We believe the issue of interacting features, regardless of whether they
are expressed as SOAP modules or part of the binding) is covered in part
1, section 3.2 where it is stated that a SOAP module specification:

"MUST clearly specify any known interactions with or changes to the
interpretation of the SOAP body. Furthermore, it MUST clearly specify
any known interactions with or changes to the interpretation of other
SOAP features (whether or not those features are themselves modules).
For example, we can imagine a module which encrypts the SOAP body and
inserts a SOAP header block containing a checksum and an indication of
the encryption mechanism used. The specification for such a module would
indicate that the decryption algorithm on the receiving side is to be
run prior to any other modules which rely on the contents of the SOAP
body."

Thanks,

Henrik Frystyk Nielsen
