Last Call for Web Services Addressing Core and SOAP Binding

The Web Services Addressing Working Group has agreed [1] to advance to 
Last Call on the following documents;

Web Services Addressing 1.0 - Core 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-ws-addr-core-20050330/>
Web Services Addressing 1.0 - SOAP Binding 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-ws-addr-soap-20050330/>

The review period for both documents begins immediately, and will end 
on May 11th, 2005. In particular, the Working Group solicits feedback 
from the Web Services Description, Web Services Choreography and XML 
Protocol Working Groups, as well as the TAG.

The Working Group believes that these documents satisfy the relevant 
requirements set out in our charter [2], as documented in [3] (the one 
issue identified there was subsequently dealt with). No formal 
objections have been received. The Working Group does ask for feedback 
regarding the extensibility model of Message Addressing Properties; see 
the Core's Section 3 for details.

Patent disclosures regarding these documents, if any, can be found at 
[4]. Note that, as per the W3C Patent Policy, publication of these Last 
Call Working Drafts begins a second exclusion opportunity, with a 
duration of 60 days. Working Group participants have until May 30, 2005 
to exclude any claims made essential by these documents that were not 
included in the February 15, 2005 drafts [5][6].
