[bt-spec] Bindings section

[Peter Furniss <peter.furniss@choreology.com>]

The attachment is the section of the draft defining the SOAP bindings. This
is based on Alex's text of 6 September. The main editorial difference is the
creation of the "binding proforma" as proposed (and agreed, I think) around
August time, which defines what a binding specification must cover - thus
making it easier for people to define proprietary or future standard
bindings. The main technical differences from Alex's draft are the
application of what was said in the conference call on 27 Sept.

No special issues, other than the obvious one of if it's right. A useful
test of the proforma, if you have an alternative mapping in mind, is to see
if the proforma asks the right questions to make you write a binding
specification that could be implemented by two people who could then
interwork (even if your intent is to have a proprietary binding)

Also, is the SOAP use and terminology correct. I may have unintentionally
mangled Alex's design.
