Fine with me. We might also want to wordsmith:

"As described above, SOAP can be augmented with optional features, (such 
as reliable message delivery, request/response MEPs, multicast MEPs, etc.)."

which appears a little above the paragraph in question. How about:

"As described above, SOAP can be augmented with optional features, (such 
as reliable message delivery, additional MEPs, etc.)."
