Subject: Re: [wsrm] WSDL One-way operation type and Data in Soap envelopeof underlyingresponse


If a web service was going to clarify its use of WS-Reliability, it 
might also want to have a second input part on the operation for the 
wsdl:request element.  This could be bound to the soap header in the 
soap http binding.

This detailed use of  WSDL shoulld not be disalllowed, and it can get 
thru the BP 1.0 restrictions
