I think it is a good idea to require that a protocol binding describes exactly how the request-URI can be determined including if it is required to be carried within the envelope. In many cases, it is obvious where to find it but there might be more tricky cases like multicast addresses etc. That there must be a request-URI somewhere I think falls out of building a protocol in the first place - the purpose of a protocol is exactly to exchange data and in order to do that one has to describe at least the destination of the data. > Modules which need > greater confidence > in the URI should specify that it be transferred in the envelope in a > pre-arranged fashion (ideally, once for all modules, not once > per module). Yes, it is always possible to enforce information to be carried within the XP envelope by using the optional/mandatory flag indicator that we have a requirement for. Henrik
