Description Gilbert Pilz 2009-11-13 06:52:15 UTC 
Section 5 "Notifications" begins with the following text:

"This specification does not constrain notifications because any message MAY be a notification.

However, if a subscriber wishes to have notifications annotated with unique SOAP header blocks then it MAY include reference parameters within the wse:NotifyTo element. These reference parameters will be processed as specified by [WS-Addressing 1.0 SOAP Binding]."

1.) What does it mean to say that "any message MAY be a notification"? Why is it necessary to point this out?

2.) The "However, . . ." is incongruous; seems like there was something there before that got removed.

3.) Why do we need to point out that reference parameters can be used? That's a given for anything that uses WS-Addressing.

Proposal: substitute both paragraphs with the following:

"Notifications are SOAP messages that are transmitted to the event sink as the result of a successful Subscribe operation."
