WS-Addressing 1.0 Core [1] Section 3.1 says: "These properties are immutable and not intended to be modified along a message path." 1) Is that true only for the infoset representation? If not (which I believe is the case) this statement needs to be moved to section 3. 2) /[reference parameters] is part of MAPs and the SOAP binding [2] maps the parameters to individual SOAP header blocks. These properties can contain SOAP 1.1/1.2 actor/role attribute that target specific SOAP forwarding intermediaries in the message path. The header blocks targeted to a forwarding intermediary will be consumed by the intermediary and then it will move the message along the message path *without* the header block in it (unless the semantics of the header blocks require reinsertion). Such a mapping, in fact, facilitates the properties being change along the message path. The statement quoted above contradicts what the mapping in [2] enables one to do. Either the mapping in [2] should be changed, the above sentence removed/modified or appropriate warnings/restrictions be included in [2]. -Anish -- [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-ws-addr-core-20050331/ [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-ws-addr-soap-20050331/
