sample WS-A app, but I've just learned something that's directly
relevant so wanted to revisit it...

In fact, at the interop testing[1] the WG held back in January (which

the HTTP Request-URI identified a "Web services endpoint"[2], which is
inconsistent with your interpretation ... yet neither are inconsistent
with the specifications.
