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

There are a few (somewhat orthogonal) things going on here;
 
1.    The message sender specifies, using mU='true' and mU='false',
which headers it requires the receiver to process and which headers it
is happy for the receiver to ignore.
 
2.    The message receiver has a set of headers it supports.
 
3.    The message receiver has to follow the SOAP processing rules.
 
Let's assume for a moment that the message receiver supports all the
headers that the message sender puts in the message. In such a case, one
could argue that the values the message sender specifies for mU are
irrelevant, that is the receiver will just process all the headers it
supports. Conversely, one could argue that a receiver, despite
understanding all the headers, is still at liberty to ignore headers
marked mU='false'. 
 
I sense in this thread a desire to *force* the first case, that is a
message receiver MUST process all the headers it supports, even if they
are marked mU='false'. I don't know why we would want to mandate that
behaviour.
 
Let's now look at a message that violates one of our spec contraints,
one that has multiple wsa:ReplyTo headers perhaps, or a wsa:FaultTo with
a missing wsa:Address element. I can see an argument that says a message
receiver that supports those headers should generate a fault because the
message is malformed. I can also see an argument that says if those
headers are marked mU='false' then the message receiver can ignore them
even though they are malformed.
 
Again, I sense a desire to force the first case (I'm slightly more
sympathetic toward this one...)

	This is exactly why I brought up this example. You can look at
this two different ways: 
	 
	-- We follow SOAP processing rules. Hence, the headers that are
marked mU=0 may be ignored. 
	 
	-- WS-Addressing is engaged, therefore all the headers,
including those that are marked mU=0, are processed. 
	 
	I am asking that we clarify our position. 
	 
	If we would like to follow both the SOAP processing semantics,
and achieve processing of all the headers, a combination approach,
namely marking all the WS-Addressing headers consistently  (i.e.
treating them as a 'virtual' bag) will make sense. 
	 
	Noone so far has come forward and explained why one would prefer
a combination of mU values, or the use cases that would support.

		If you have a WS-A endpoint then by definition all WS-A
headers will be processed independent of mU semantics.  I cannot see how
a WS-A header could be 'ignored' when performing WS-A processing on a
WS-A endpoint.  Notice, I didn't address the dual-use scenario since I
don't believe this belongs in the spec.
		
		Correct me if necessary, but isn't it just that simple!

			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.
