But at what price? I don't like the price of 2 SOAP-MEPs for one
WSDL MEP. Furthermore, Dave's doing at best a liberal reading of
SOAP1.2 and, at worst a full-scale violation of it to achieve the
2 SOAP-MEP thing using the current SOAP-HTTP binding.

We define this very precisely right now - look at the default rules
for the SOAP binding. Its of course not one-to-one (and doesn't need
to be); all we need to do is define *one* SOAP MEP to be used for
the WSDL MEPs for which we are defining bindings.
