Ain't nothin' > we can do about that. Cookies have been around for about 10 years now, so I can understand an argument about the problems with trying to fix/discourage them. But WS-Addressing is brand spanking new, and AFAICT, there are *no* publically accessible Web services that actually use it (and probably not many more behind firewalls that do either). So I don't quite understand why there's nothing to be done. On the contrary, it seems like a perfect opportunity to fix a serious problem. Mark.
