Processing Specifications  
   
t1  
  1. If actor=next, append my node name to end of list, then
  a. if intermediary, fwd to actor=next
  b. if ultimate SOAP receipient, copy t1 into reply and set actor=next
   
  2. If actor=me-specifically (e.g., alpha), append my node name to end of list, then fwd to actor=next
   
   
t2 Not defined (no one can understand it)
   
   
t3 if on arrival t2 is not in message, insert t2 with actor=null and another t2 with actor=next
   
t4 contents specifies role to be assumed by target
  (If forwarded, should target then drop that role?)
   
t5 if received at anonymous actor, then insert t6 in response message
   
t6 lists unprocessed header blocks that reach ultimate receiver.
  unprocessed is when actor equal to next, null, or one of my roles (e.g., charlie)
   
body echo back body
   
   
NOTES  
1 null implies two cases: 1. actor="" and 2. No actor attribute
2 need to add cases for actor="none"
3 Can more than one node assume the same role (actor)?
  <t4 actor=next><role>charlie</role></t4>
4 table needs review. I suspect many errors in B2C, C2B, B2A for given A2B
5 Additional test cases using t3, t4, t5, t6?
