So a WSDL interface describes two operations both with the same input message
but with different actions and output messages. Would you expect something 
inside the message to describe the operation to be invoked?

Or could the dispatching be achieved from something out of band - it's raining, 
i've sent twenty messages previously, it's my birthday, the ISS is overhead, etc? 
If so, where would this policy based dispatching be described?

i'm not totally against you all wanting to do such a thing, just want to know
how far down this rabbit hole we're all headed.
