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.
