Re: SOAP Response pattern and our MEPs

Of course, yes. 8-)

But the mapping goes the other way - one doesn't map SOAP MEPs onto WSDL
MEPs; instead WSDL MEPs used by WSDL operations are mapped to SOAP MEPs.
So yes, I also have in mind to allow WSDL request/response operations to
use SOAP Request/response MEP.
