Great!

NOTE: this definition admits special >purpose implementations, such as those in dedicated >controllers, which may send and receive only a very limited >suite of messages; the requirement is that whatever is done be >done correctly. > >Likewise, for the reason noted above, conformance to the SOAP 1.2 >specification does not imply conformance to the SOAP 1.2 Test >Suite.
