"If the {soap mep} property of the Binding Operation component has the value
"http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/soap-response/" then the URI to execute
the HTTP GET against MUST be generated using the HTTP binding's rules for
generating a URI for HTTP GET (see 3. WSDL HTTP Binding). The input
serialization format of x-www-form-urlencoded is the only supported
serialization format for HTTP GET in the SOAP Response Message Exchange
Pattern." [1]

"This serialization format is designed to allow a Web Service to produce a
URI based on the instance data of input messages. It may only be used for
interface operation using the URI Style format as defined in 3.9.1 URI
Style."

It appears to me that there is a strong relationship between the value of
Message Reference.{style} and {soap mep} properties. Particularly, if {soap
mep} has the value "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/soap-response/" then
{style} must be  http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/style/uri Is that true? If
so, shall we state it? And, shall we establish a default binding rule? Are
there too many iffs?
