As there has been some confusion: WSA defines two core concepts: Endpoint References (EPRs) and Message Addressing Properties (MAPs). * EPRs provide a data representation for a destination for messages. Basically an IRI [address], [reference parameters] which are to be attached to the message sent (as SOAP headers in the SOAP binding), and [metadata], which is anything else of interest. * MAPs are analogous to the usual email headers such as from: to: reply-to: message-id: and in-reply-to: and, as the name suggests, are properties of the message. There is also an [action] MAP defined analogous to the SOAPAction HTTP header. As should be clear, a MAP is not the same as a MEP. The names are confusing, but (one hopes) which one is meant should also generally be clear from context.
