Your proposal is OK. How about: <henrik> This section defines the SOAP distributed processing model. The processing model defined in this section applies to a single SOAP message independent of any other SOAP message. <henrik> <noah> This section defines the SOAP distributed processing model. The processing model defined in this section applies to a single SOAP message independent of any other SOAP message; this specification makes no claim as to whether a given entity acting as a SOAP node for the processing of one (or more) messages need do so for others, except insofar as particular MEPs (see XXX) MAY call for groups of messages to be processed in combination. </noah> A bit clunky. Refinements welcome. I think it may be important to signal that the term node does not apply to a particular piece of software or hardware (what I've called entity), but to such an entity acting on one message. I also think we have to acknowledge that MEP's apply to more than one message: typically, a request and a response. If you're a node for one, I think you need be for another, or else your property state makes no sense. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah Mendelsohn Voice: 1-617-693-4036 IBM Corporation Fax: 1-617-693-8676 One Rogers Street Cambridge, MA 02142 ------------------------------------------------------------------
