Almost, yes, but I was thinking it made more sense to be tagged per-interface rather than per-operation. I couldn't imagine an interface that wouldn't have all operations tagged with the same value. BTW, there's also an interaction with the binding here, and depending upon how issue 62 is resolved, any solution to this issue may need to change. It may even make sense to tackle them together. > What concrete > benefit could a processor provide when given such information? I believe it would have to be made available to the developer via an API in the generated stub. It would indicate to the developer whether "success" or "failure" related to the generic processing of the message, or to some explicit request for some action to occur embedded within the message.
