RE: LC 76 - What makes a msg WS-A?

If I get a wsa:Action marked mU="false", then presumably I can ignore
wsa for whatever reason, such as I don't understand WSA at all.

I thought the condition was EITHER a wsa:Action is present OR there is a
wsa header marked mU.

	It is not specified. Based on what I can follow in this thread,
engaging
	WS-Addressing appears to be indicated by using mU. Let me make
this
	clear. I am not saying that this should be the only way, but I
am not
	aware of an alternate way from the receiver's side to detect
	WS-Addressing is engaged or not since we are relying on the SOAP
	processing model only.
	
	Putting this aside, assuming that WS-Addressing is engaged, my
question
	still applies.
