Fw: [ws-rx] NEW ISSUE: Mixing of SOAP and WS-A versions

[Peter Niblett <peter_niblett@uk.ibm.com>]

I can see that there might be some merit in allowing a mixture of SOAP 1.1
and SOAP 1.2 requests to go down the same sequence. But if so, don't the
rules need to be spelt out? If the RMD is generating a Fault how does it
know whether to use SOAP 1.1 or SOAP 1.2? Or is it free to choose either at
its own discretion?
