Well, I think you said it there when you said that WS-Addressing deals with
endpoint references.  R085 appears to require that WSDL be able to describe
messages with URIs anywhere in the message, pointing to anything (e.g.
perhaps those involved in a hypermedia interaction), not just endpoint
references in a particular portion of the message (e.g. headers).

I think R085 requires a much more general solution than WS-Addressing
provides.

And FWIW, I don't think WS-Addressing is a solution to any known
problem.  It assumes "protocol independance" is a feature, rather than
a bug.
