Re: Issue 455 closed: Representation header and SOAP processing model

Jean-Jacques, 

I read the log as:

1) we decide what the new role will look like (first snippet)
2) we add clarifications about multiple Representation headers (second
snippet) 
3) we resolve issue 455 by defining the role (as above in 1), adding the
two statements (in 2) and a further statement on ordering.

That's the full resolution. The rule about mandatory reinsertion of
Representation was discussed before but dismissed in favor of the new
role.

's how I see it. 8-)
