Re: LC Issue 250: closed, editorial: text changed

In August, a preliminary revision to the SOAP 1.2 specification was made
with the intention of resolving issue 250 [1].  During recent reviews, the
editors discovered that the resulting text did not conform as closely as
possible to the resolution agreed by the workgroup and officially
documented at [2].  Accordingly, I have this evening further revised the
specification and I believe it now substantially conforms to the intentions
of the WG.  For the moment, the resolution is reflected only in the XML
[3], as I have no convenient means of generating the HTML.

In addition to noting this change, the purpose of this note is to formally
notify the WG and the commentator that the final text differs somewhat from
the agreed resolution.  Specifically, the agreed resolution suggested:

"With the exception of the three SOAP role names defined above, other role
names MAY be defined as necessary to meet the needs of SOAP applications."

This seems nonsensical.  Accordingly, I have revised that to read:

"In addition to the three SOAP role names defined above, other role names
MAY be defined as necessary to meet the needs of SOAP applications."

If the members of the WG believe this does not reflect the intended
resolution, please let the editors know ASAP.  xmlp-comments should be
deleted from the distribution of any replies to this note.  Thank you.
