If I may just add a clarifying comment (not intended as discussion). The
general issue is that if a SOAP receiver receives an incomplete message
(which includes an empty message) then it should generate a Client SOAP
Fault. This of course has no impact on normal HTTP operations if HTTP is
used as the underlying protocol.
