As you all know from the message that started this thread, that was my intuition from the start. For awhile the trend of the discussion seemed to be that I might be off base in the common HTTP case, though not necessarily wrt/ the broarder range of protocols on which SOAP may be used. I'm glad that at least some "guru"s agree with my intuition on HTTP after all. Anyway, I think this is at least indirectly additional evidence for keeping the MEPs separate. I would welcome getting a bit more detail on the HTTP rules if it's easy to summarize.
