I'm confused.  There's always an operation, no?  Sometimes what's in the
message isn't the "name" per se, but there's always some token in the
message envelope that can be mapped to some spec which describes the
operation's semantics.  Or are you referring to the latter with your
mention of "other mechanism" there?

Just trying to understand.

Mark.
