Re: http binding

I think a likely (?) direction is that each SOAP binding will indicate 
the (SOAP) MEP in use. This MEP will need to be compatible with the WSDL 
pattern for the interface. An alternative would be to set the value for 
the SOAP WebMethod property.

I suspect 1. and 2. are actually meant for the HTTP binding, not the 
SOAP binding?
