I have issues with wsa:ReplyTo as well. While it would be nice to tell just from a message whether or not a response it coming back, I think the MUST requirement is too limiting. A sender may not know its address, it may be going through NAT gateways, or whatever. And if the response is just coming back, e.g., as an HTTP response, there really is no need to require this element. /r$ -- Rich Salz Chief Security Architect DataPower Technology http://www.datapower.com XS40 XML Security Gateway http://www.datapower.com/products/xs40.html XML Security Overview http://www.datapower.com/xmldev/xmlsecurity.html
