Hi,

My interpretation of the "Resource Representation SOAP Header Block"
is that section 4.3.3 is non-normative, which I believe is the
interpretation everyone would agree with. However, the first time I
read it, I formed the impression that the "HTTP resolver"
functionality in it was some form of optional part of the
specification. I might suggest, that to avoid any such impression
being formed in the minds of a less than careful reader, that the
section be moved to an appendix and clearly marked as "NON-NORMATIVE".
(At first, I read the wording "Extension example:"  to mean, not that
this section is non-normative, but that this part of the specification
is an example of the power of the extensibility mechanisms in the
specification.)

Also, I could not find a public comment email address, or editors
email addresses, for this specification, so I am reporting it here. Is
this the right place? I would suggest that every recommendation should
clearly identify in its introduction how errata or other such issues
are to be raised.

Cheers
