Sorry, I don't follow.  I don't know what it means for the WS-A SOAP
binding to be hop-by-hop, since the SOAP processing model is end-to-end.

Also, in the Req/Resp MEP, there's some ambiguity about the
definition of the ImmediateDestination property;

"The identifier of the immediate destination of an outbound message."
 -- http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-soap12-part2-20030624/#tabreqresprops

(where "immediate destination" is undefined)

However, the description of its value seems unambiguous that it's
identifying the ultimate recipient;

"An identifier (URI) that denotes the responding SOAP node"
 -- http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-soap12-part2-20030624/#tabreqcon

Hugo; thanks, I didn't see that section on Action.  It seems fine
to me, but it doesn't address the issue of the Web method.

Mark.
