To further add to Dave's above comment...

Due to the combination of wsa:action and reference properties we see
SOAP messages that look more and more like this...

<soap:Envelope>
  <soap:Header>
    <wsa:Action>blabla:SendEmailNotification</wsa:Action>
    <appl:CustomerFirstName>Savas</appl:CustomerFirstName>
    <appl:CustomerLastName>Parastatidis</appl:CustomerLastName>
  </soap:Header>
  <soap:Body />
</soap:Envelope>

Effectively moving the application-specific payload to the header
section of the soap envelope not leaving anything for the receiving
application specific actor.

.savas.
