Re: Proposed text for 2.2.21 (take 2)

I think Mark's point is that when you use the HTTP GET Web Feature, you
don't *send* a message to the resource. You simply GET the representation,
which happens to be a SOAP message.

Web Method feature of SOAP 1.2. According to that feature, an HTTP GET
represents a particular binding of a SOAP Response MEP. So an HTTP GET used
in this context is a legitimate realization of the type of messages we
address in this spec.
