[tracking] application/soap+xml "action" parameter

(from 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi?command=view_id&dTag=8198&rfc_flag=0 
)
<<<<<<<<<
The presence and content of the SOAPAction header field can be used by 
servers such as firewalls to >appropriately filter SOAP request messages 
in HTTP. The header field value of empty string ("") means >that the 
intent of the SOAP message is provided by the HTTP Request-URI. No value 
means that there >is no indication of the intent of the message.

I assume that it is *not* intended that this parameter ever have an empty 
string as a valid value.  Given the parallel made in the text, though, I 
believe it would be valuable to make explicit that this is or is not 
permitted.  I also note that the filtering text almost certainly does not 
belong in this registration. (as it conflicts with the statement in the 
security considerations)

The working group decided to close the issue with the following 
resolution [1]:

In Part2, section 6.5.3
replace
<
The SOAP Action feature defines a single property, which is described in
Table 14. >
by
>
The SOAP Action feature defines a single property, which is described in
Table 14. The value of this property MUST be an absolute URI [rfc2396] and
MUST NOT be empty.
