Minor comments for SOAP CR Parts 1 and 2

Hello,

Belated congratulations on your SOAP Version 1.2 Candidate
Recommendation. I think it is beautifully done. Here are minor
comments that apply to both Parts 1 and 2 [1,2].

The files would be 10% smaller if run through HTML Tidy with indent off.

Please remove this CSS rule to fix display in Mac IE and Opera:

     dt.label       { display: run-in; }

It looks like this HTML was generated with an old version of the
xmlspec XSLT stylesheet. To see one reason why, see the Mac IE screen
shot at http://www.w3.org/2003/01/26-soap1.png. This rule also makes
references markup fragile (doesn't apply to what you have right now).

Does this rule come from the xmlspec XSLT?

     li, p           { margin-top: 0.3em;
                      margin-bottom: 0.3em; }

I would omit it because optimal vertical spacing is font-dependent and
W3C CSS says only that TRs are "sans-serif" with unknown metrics. If it
did come from that stylesheet please let me know so it can be reported.

The tables need summary attributes to meet WCAG 1.0 Level A (required).
