Re: [sca-bindings] Issue 25: Does binding.ws imply SOAP
Following all of Mike's points....

  Folks,
  

  

  I agree with the general direction
advocated
here:
  

  

  1) <binding.ws/> implies a
WSDL-related
binding
  

  

  2) <binding.ws/> SHOULD imply
a SOAP binding
  

  

  3) <binding.ws/> WITHOUT an
explicitly
supplied WSDL MUST support SOAP & HTTP
  

I believe we require supporting binding.ws with nothing additional
supported, as in:

"<binding.ws/>"

Coupled with Mike's statement above, this implies that a conforming
implementation MUST support SOAP, even if SOAP is not used in a
particular configuration.

Is that the question or is the question more specifically that it is
always true that a binding.ws implementation "alwaysProvides" "soap"?

If you can't tell, I'm slightly lost as to the actual issue.
