Resolution of issue Rec39

At the 07-dec-2005 concall the XMLP WG decided to close issue Rec39 [1] 
by including the requirement for an optional-response/empty HTTP 
entity-body in the new MEP/binding work that the WG is undertaking.

The WG also decided that per the existing binding defined in SOAP 1.2 
[2], it is not possible to send back an empty HTTP entity body for the 
non-fault case when using the request-response MEP. The reasons for this 
are listed in the email at [3].

PS: as the person who raised this issue, I'm happy with the resolution.
