Re: Minutes of the Web Services Addressing / TAG joint meeting

Thanks Mark.  I had attempted to represent your position and apparently 
came close but didn't quite nail the details.

I remembered your saying that before, and I apparently misquoted it as 
representing the net of your position.

Thank you for the clarification. 

FWIW, that's at least generally my position too.  Restating in my words: 
it's important to make at least a serious effort to properly use an 
"underlying" protocol such as HTTP.  Duplication has serious downsides, 
but also some advantages, and may be a reasonable compromise in some 
cases, perhaps this one.
