The payload should tell the service that.
Plus you have wsa:Action wsa:RelatesTo and wsa:RefPs.

Not when using WS-MC.
The original service request's wsa:ReplyTo will have to be respected. 
That wsa:ReplyTo would be a WS-MC anonymous, which would require the 
service to send the response to the original request as a response to a 
MC request.

Yes, in theory.
But in practice, this would be an interop nightmare, I would think. The 
reference component would have to expect such a piggy-backed 2nd 
callback request and process it. Since this wasn't a HTTP response to a 
MC request, it may not have expected this message and may not process it.

Hmm. I don't know, since we don't write WS-* specs (although we do write 
specs that walk and quack like it), don't you think having the 
WS-Callback stuff be longer than the binding.ws part would be a problem? ;-)
