What does http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP identify?

Hi,

I'd like to bring the message below to the attention of the TAG.  It was
sent yesterday, by the XML Protocol WG.  I'd appreciate it if the TAG
could comment on the soundness of this approach to changing the resource
that a URI identifies.

Personally, I didn't think any change was required; if a URI was
desired to identify "the latest SOAP spec", a new one should have
been minted.

Thanks.

Mark.

The purpose of this message is to clarify usage of the URL
http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/. This URL is intended to reference the most
recent version of the SOAP specification, which is currently SOAP Version
1.2. However, it has been brought to our attention that
http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/ has been used in some documents to reference
SOAP Version 1.1. Please note that the appropriate URL for SOAP Version 1.1
is http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-20000508/, and correct your
documents accordingly. This URL is stable and references the SOAP Version
1.1 specification that exists as a member submitted Note on the W3C
website. The appropriate URLs for the SOAP Version 1.2 specification are
http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part1/ for the most recent version, and
http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-soap12-part1-20030624/ for the Recommendation
dated 24 June 2003.

On behalf of the W3C XML Protocol Working Group,
David Fallside

Chair, XML Protocol Working Group
