6. "Determination of success by a receiver": do you mean 'successful processing as per SOAP's processing model', or that + "successfully received"? I suspect the former, but the current text is a little ambiguous.
See minutes: http://www.w3.org/2007/03/07-xmlprotocol-minutes.html RESOLUTION: blend 5 and 6 together
Closed with resolution from 4405: RESOLUTION: WSDL #5 closed with the following replacement text for 3rd para sect 2.2: When a message is successfully received by a SOAP node, that node MUST populate http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/InboundMessage with the received message and MUST process the message in http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/InboundMessage according to the SOAP Processing Model (see SOAP 1.2 Part 1 [SOAP Part 1] Processing SOAP messages). A receiver might, in exceptional circumstances, treat as erroneous, or lost, a message that has been received intact. Typical reasons for making such decisions might include shortage of buffer space, network interface overruns, etc.. A receiver MAY fault in a binding-specific manner if some particular message is determined to have been unsuccessfully received (note, however, that in many cases where receipt is unsuccessful, information identifying the message or its sender may be unreliable, in which case there may be little if any value in reflecting a message-specific fault.)
