RE: Misc Comments - Part 2

> I think Sun did it's share by providing the first set of testcases :)

fair comment, though I understood the purpose was
to identify features to be tested, which Mark distilled
into our feature list.

I'll revisit your note and try to turn them into tests based
upon our two operations..

I'm happy for you to be an editor, though that's something
a Chair decides ;-) Contact Mark ...

You'd still be able to help the week before the fest, and
moving forward with the WSDL binding through CR.

That's a shame, sorry! I don't mean to say they're so much
editorial nits, but requests for justification and
better explanation.

Another way of looking at this is to say "implement the spec,
notify and echo operations and all the tests should work
as described" ..

presumably they're all valid tests within the SOAP and Addressing
specifications, no?
