I personally feel that both of these proposals are inadequate in important ways; Content-Location because it requires an unsafe method invocation in order to discover the URI, and construct-a-URI because it breaks opacity and is not at all a general solution. Would it really be so hard to just say "don't do RPC"? Most of the Web services proponents I've talked to are trying to distance themselves from RPC. I wouldn't expect that there'd be as much push back on it now, as there would have been when the XMLP WG was chartered. We could even show examples of how to use SOAP & HTTP GET together, such as the one I put together last year; http://www.markbaker.ca/2001/07/SoapUses/ I think that it's at least worth considering as a solution.
