Closing issue 219

Hi folks!

On July 31st, the WG agreed to close issue #219 [1] as follows:

Replace the sentence in section 3.1 beginning with "A feature expressed as SOAP headers..." with the following:

"When a feature is expressed this way, the combined syntax and semantics of such headers are known as a SOAP Module, and are specified according to the rules in section 3.2 SOAP Modules."

Then replace the first two sentences of 3.2 with:

"The term 'SOAP Module' refers to the set of syntax and semantics associated with implementing a particular feature (link to 3.1) as SOAP headers.  A Module is described in a Module Specification, which adheres to the following rules.  It:"

Further, we agreed to insert the following as the new second rule in section 3.2, moving the other rules down one:

"2. MUST, *if* the Module implements a Feature which has already been defined elsewhere, clearly refer to said Feature's URI.  Note that a Module may EITHER explicitly refer to a separate Feature in this way OR may implicitly define a Feature simply by describing the semantics of the Module."

(note that this last bit relies on a Feature having a URI, which is dealt with by the resolution of issue #230 [2])

Please send any comments to xml-dist-app.

Thanks!
