Or put another way, if you see something > marked soap:role='http://www.w3.org/2002/06/soap-envelope/role/next' > then it IS for you! Are you saying we need MORE definition than this? Instead of defining something by listing it's membership (which includes everyone and then folks might ask what's the point -- I have a similar question with "none"?) It's good to define things with an identifier, expected behaviour, and conformance. Also, this is an opportunity to reflect how you want others to define their roles when they develop them... Role Name: next Identifier: http://www.w3.org/2002/06/soap-envelope/role/next Definition Any SOAP node that receives and processing a SOAP message as defined in section 2.6 Conformance: By definition, all SOAP nodes except the originating node MUST conform to this role. Role Name: Ultimate SOAP receiver Identifier: http://www.w3.org/2002/06/soap-envelope/role/ultimateReceiver Definition [Defined in http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-soap12-part1-20020626/#senderreceiverconcepts ] Conformance: [Spread throughout the document.]
