I would like to be able to put a digital signature in a message, and have that mean something to everyone along the way who's interested in the fact that I signed it. Ideally, I would address this to a role like "signatureReaders" or "athenticators", but "relay" is an acceptable compromise. I certainly want to feel that the contract is from me to all of them, not from me to the next hop. I was the one who did the signing. That was never a part of SOAP 1.1 that I particularly liked, and regardless of our decision on if and how to do relay, I would not want to go back to the SOAP 1.1 formulation on congracts. Too restrictive IMO.
