Or "logical address" for that matter. The WG had rather extensive discussions about this topic and had in the end to steer clear of defining wsa:Address as one or the other. AIUI, an implementation is free to use the value of the [address] property in the underlying transport (e.g. the HTTP address when using SOAP/HTTP), but is not required to do so. The client may instead route the message to a proxy, an intermediary, or perform a catalog lookup - all well-known infrastructure for delivering a message correctly to a final recipient. Each mechanism provides value-add to the message delivery path (security, robustness, better performance, etc.)
