Sounds good to me.

I agree that the concepts could be clarified in the current spec,
however, I don't think the overall *location* (section 5) is completely
wrong given the layout of part 1: section 2 talks about the processing
model, section 4 about the layout, section 5 about *extending* SOAP.

Section 5.1 contains much of the essence of how we anticipate SOAP being
extended but unfortunately it has a completely insignificant title
(Introduction). A cheap fix would be to promote section 5.1 to a
top-level section and call it "SOAP Extensibility" or some such. The
rest of section 5 would remain as its own top-level section called "SOAP
Binding Framework". Does this make sense?

One thing that I want to clarify, however, is that at this time, I would
tend to put this in the "would be nice to have" category rather than the
"must have" category.

Thank you!
