Your proposed wording does lift the ambiguity.

One comment though: you went from "A SOAP node MAY choose to ignore
[..] non-mandatory SOAP header blocks targeted at it" to "A SOAP node
MAY also choose to process non-mandatory SOAP header blocks targeted
at it".

I think that the expectations of people is to have headers processed,
even though they may be ignored if they are not marked as mandatory.
This is related I think to the discussion about issue 232[3].

The use of "choose" sounds to me like the SOAP node may act as it
pleases it. With a default env:mustUnderstand being true, this is
fine, but if the Working Group replies negatively to issue 232, then I
will be more comfortable if "also choose to" was removed.

So I think that we can indeed consider issue 229 closed, and I will
keep my other comments for the resolution of issue 232.

Thank you.

Hugo
