<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Alastair,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I don't think that MakeConnection "invites
a response"... rather, it opens up the back-channel</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">(when transmitted over a protocol such
as HTTP that has an inherent back-channel) for the</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">transmission of a message. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I think that there is a difference...
a large one at that.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">A SOAP Response is entirely different
than a protocol response message. In the context</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">of a oneway message, carried over a
protocol such as HTTP, there is a response message</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">that may not carry a SOAP envelope in
its entity body. It is a protocol-level response, not necessarily</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">a SOAP level-response. The fact that
we are exploiting this is what MakeConnection is all about.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">As Paul indicated, I would be happy
if we suggested that WS-A none URI be specified as the</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">ReplyTo address, but frankly, I think
that that is something for the WS-A WG to work out.</font>
<br>
