When I read the Last Call Working Draft [1] of the Web Services Addressing 1.0 - Core specification, I see that the cardinality indicator associated with the "[destination]" property in section 3. Message Addressing Properties [2] is "(mandatory)". Unfortunately, I do not see a definition of "(mandatory)" anywhere in the same document (I even checked RFC 2119 [3]). So, while I would doubt that anyone would argue about associating minOccurs=1 to the term, it is less clear what value of maxOccurs to associate. I can see arguments for both one and unbounded. So... (1) What did the authors intend for the meaning of "(mandatory)"? (2) If the intent was in fact maxOccurs=unbounded, could you help me to understand the use cases behind the intent? I have some ideas, but I am sure that the authors must have more. Thanks, Rimas V.
