LC-Issue #230

Glen:

The working group discussed last call issue 230 [1] in the July 10
teleconference.  In 230, you ask that in section 3.1.1 -- "Requirements on
Features" -- the specification of a feature MUST include "1. A URI used to
refer to the feature." 
The group would like to make sure that you were aware that Section 3.2 "SOAP
Modules" included "MUST identify itself with a URI.", and whether this
covered your concern.  On rereading the issue, I notice that you reference
issue 203 [2], which includes this as part of the resolution, so I assume
you would still like to add URI identifiers to SOAP features as well.
The problem raised in the discussion of issue LC-230 is that SOAP features
may be abstract, and it might be difficult to give a definitive URI to them,
whereas SOAP modules are concrete, expressed as SOAP headers.
It is unclear to me whether this is a valid argument.  Any feedback you can
provide would be helpful.
Don
