Issues 16 and 113: Proposed resolution

The ETF has looked at issues 16 [1] and 113 [2] and here is the
recommendation that we propose for dealing with them. As usual I hope to
capture the discussion within the ETF, if not then come forward! The
resolution does depend on the proposed resolution for issue 177 [3]
which the ETF also provided a proposed resolution for [4].

We believe that if the proposed resolution [4] is accepted, then this
will in combination with the discussion at the Sep f2f [5] regarding
issue 113 (based on a mail put forward by Jacek [6]) enable us to close
issue 113. The resolution is to refer to [6] and [4] as well as this
mail. 

As the proposed resolution [4] makes it clear what it means to leave out
an accessor, we furthermore propose that the current text in section 4.1
be modified from saying:

"Each parameter accessor has a name corresponding to the name of the
parameter (see A Mapping Application Defined Name to XML Name) and type
corresponding to the type of the parameter. The name of the return value
accessor is "result" and it is namespace-qualified with the namespace
identifier "http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-rpc" The return value
accessor MUST be present if the return value of the procedure is
non-void. The return value accessor MUST NOT be present if the return
value of the procedure is void."

To saying

"Each parameter accessor has a name corresponding to the name of the
parameter (see A Mapping Application Defined Name to XML Name) and type
corresponding to the type of the parameter. The name of the return value
accessor is "result" and it is namespace-qualified with the namespace
identifier "http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-rpc" (see section 3.1 for a
description of omitted values)."

If this is accepted then we can also close issue 16 with the resolution
saying that we refer to this mail and to [4] for the resolution.

Note that although issue 78 [8] is listed as related, we will propose a
separate resolution for this issue.
