Why is the empty SOAP Envelope required?

Does empty SOAP envelope mean: no SOAP headers and an empty body?

What seems strange about the empty SOAP envelope is that:
The MEP (or transmission primitive) says that the exchange is req-res 
and the requester gets back 2 soap messages (one "empty" envelope sent 
on the HTTP back channel and the other "real" reply on the ReplyTo EPR). 
Where is the empty envelope processed? Is it delivered to the App?

Thanks.
