To further support Jim's argument above, let me give another example. Do
you think that WS-Addressing should specify that when the SOAP message
bellow is sent by a sender the sender MUST use HTTP for the transfer of
that message?

<soap:Envelope>
  <soap:Header>
    <wsa:To>http://chocolates.com/service</wsa:To>
    <wsa:Action>urn:ProcessMessage</wsa:Action> <!-- :-) -->
  </soap:Header>
  <soap:Body>
    <!-- bla bla -->
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

What if the original sender decided to use a pigeon to transfer this
SOAP message to an intermediary? Does it really have to use HTTP? Should
WS-Addressing define the semantics on how a SOAP message is transported?
