Issue 455 closed: Representation header and SOAP processing model

Dear Noah,

You raised issue #455 about the interaction between the SOAP processing 
model and the Representation Header.

At its recent f2f, the XMLP WG decided to close[1] this issue by 
defining a new role (name to be decided), with the following 
characteristics:

1. The role will be used to target all Representation header blocks.

2. The Representation header block MUST always be reinserted, even if 
processed.

3a. It's OK for multiple Representation header blocks in the same 
message to have the same URI and role.

3b. Such Representation header blocks would typically have different 
metadata.

4. Implementations MAY need to process Representation header blocks 
BEFORE other header blocks that might dereference URIs.

Please let us know immediately if you do not agree with this resolution.

Regards,

Jean-Jacques.
