Re: ROR proposal issue #2 (aka SC2)

Thank you Mike.  I want to think more about Chris' proposed change, but I 
do think that Dave's goes beyond what the workgroup agreed when we 
suggests:

"The SOAP Request-Response MEP defines a pattern for the exchange of a 
message acting as a request optionally followed by a message acting as a 
response. The messages may or may not carry SOAP envelopes."

I think we've agreed that the request, including its envelope is 
mandatory.  The response is mandatory too, but the envelope in it is 
optional.  Similarly where he suggests:

"In the absence of failure in the underlying protocol, this MEP consists 
of one request message and one optional response message."

I think that also contradicts our decision that the response is mandatory.

As we move ahead, I would find it helpful if commentators would separate 
suggestions for how to draft wording that captures the technical agreement 
we've reached, from proposals to reopen the discussion of the technical 
direction.  Dave's proposal seems to me to include the latter.

I took an action to explode the substantive comments on the ROR 
proposal individually out to the ML. This is one of three.

Thx, Mike

Issue: Do not make any claims as to what the response message 
indicates (whether or not the message was received). 

Target: 6.2.2

Proposed text: 
From: '***The SOAP Request-Response MEP defines a pattern for the

failure in the underlying protocol, this MEP consists of exactly 
two messages.'
