RE: Proposed resolution: issues 78, 16

In addendum...

Section 7 is silent on any requirement of the number of serialization roots
in an rpc encoded message, i.e., whether more than one is
(allowed|disallowed) or ignored if more than one exists excluding the method
wrapper element.  It seems (to me) that some clarification in Sec 7 needs to
occur regarding whether:
1) multiple serialization roots in rpc encoded messages are allowed.
	a) If allowed (are they ignored) with the exception of the method wrapper
element
	b) If not allowed should the message should be faulted.

Thx,
