Amy, You seem to be implying that the SOAP MEPs would somehow point to the WSDL abstract MEPs, possibly through text in the SOAP 1.2 specification referring to the WSDL MEPs. Whilst this sounds entirely legitimate and probably the best solution in the long run, this may not be possible until the next version of SOAP. SOAP is currently in Candidate Recommendation and I have the bad feeling that changing the SOAP spec now as you suggest would set XMLP back to Working Draft, and cause considerable delays. Given the expectations of the industry regarding SOAP 1.2, I think we should make our best to minimize such late changes to the SOAP specification, if possible. I would therefore strongly encourage us to look at a design which does not require modifications of the actual SOAP MEPs. I apologize in advance if I have been reading too much in your message.
