My recollection of the discussion was whether to encode at the 
element level (using SOAP encoding specified in chapter 5, SOAP-ENC:base64)
or the body part level. My meeting notes indicate that we agreed to encode
at the body part level only those body parts that require encoding.

My understanding is that SOAP-Action would be used for dispatching purposes
as a substitute for the MIME "type" parameter, which now contains a 
generic "text/xml" identifier.
