Some additional comments regarding V.98

[Dick Brooks <dick@8760.com>]

The spec indicates that Manifest, StatusData and Acknowledgement have a REQUIRED mustUnderstand attribute equal "1". This is unnecessary given the following excerpt from the SOAP spec:

 

"4.3.1 Relationship between SOAP Header and Body

While the Header and Body are defined as independent elements, they are in fact related. The relationship between a body entry and a header entry is as follows: A body entry is semantically equivalent to a header entry intended for the default actor and with a SOAP mustUnderstand attribute with a value of "1". The default actor is indicated by not using the actor attribute (see section 4.2.2)."

I propose removing the requirement for a mustUnderstand attribute on elements contained in the SOAP-ENV:Body.
