RE: [ws-rx] issue 115: clarifying question
Sanjay,

When you match SHOULD ignore with soap:mU,
I believe you get all you need. Clearly, an

endpoint that understands an extension
isn't going to ignore it.

Cheers,

I was trying to point out the issues with using SOAP mU for RM

extensions. That's all. Having said that, I would expect that a proposal

defining wsrm:mU would specify the same semantic whether the attribute

appears in a header or the body.

Good point. I hope that any proposal for asserting RM extensions would

define this behavior in concise terms.

CS/STR seems to be the implicit driver looking at the messages on the

list!

SHOULD ignore semantic may get in our way to build any runtime assertion

capability in the protocol, wouldn't it?
