Web Services Addressing Is a W3C Recommendation

  The World Wide Web Consortium today released "Web Services Addressing -
  Core" and its "SOAP Binding" as W3C Recommendations. The core
  properties allow uniform addressing of Web services and messages,
  independent of the underlying transport. The binding defines their
  association to SOAP messages. Read the press release and testimonials
  and visit the Web services home page.
