The issue is that WS-Addressing seems to be the only spec (that I know of;
so many specs, so little time), that essentially rewrites things so that
data is now "generic" SOAP header blocks.

As I have tried to show in two (soon to be three) notes, this makes
end-to-end security of WS-Addressing information effectively impossible to
achieve using the current SOAP binding mechanism.  I think that's bad.
