There is an inconsistency between section 2.7.4 (SOAP Intermediaries 
and Relayed Infoset) in part 1[1] and the descriptions of the SOAP 
mustUnderstand, role and relay attributes.
Section 2.7.4 states that "All XML infoset properties of a message MUST 
be preserved with the following exceptions: [long list]" but doesn't 
mention anything about the mustUnderstand, role and relay attributes.
However, in contradiction to this:
(i) Section 5.2.2[2] (SOAP role Attribute) states that 'If relaying the 
message, a SOAP intermediary MAY omit a SOAP role  attribute 
information item if its value is 
"https://www.w3.org/2002/12/soap-envelope/role/ultimateReceiver"'.
(ii) Section 5.2.3[3] (SOAP mustUnderstand Attribute) states that 'If 
relaying the message, a SOAP intermediary MAY substitute "true" for the 
value "1", or "false" for "0". In addition, a SOAP intermediary MAY 
omit a SOAP mustUnderstand  attribute information item if its value is 
"false"'.
(iii) Section 5.2.4[4] (SOAP relay Attribute) states that 'If relaying 
the message, a SOAP intermediary MAY substitute "true" for the value 
"1", or "false" for "0". In addition, a SOAP intermediary MAY omit a 
SOAP relay attribute information item if its value is "false"'.
I think this was an oversight when section 2.7.4 was constructed and to 
restore consistency I propose that we add three bullets to the list in 
section 2.7.4 as follows:
19 SOAP role attribute information items that are present in the 
[attributes] property of SOAP Header block element information items 
may be transformed as described in 5.2.2 SOAP role Attribute.
20 SOAP mustUnderstand attribute information items that are present in 
the [attributes] property of SOAP Header block element information 
items may be transformed as described in 5.2.3 SOAP mustUnderstand 
Attribute.
21 SOAP relay attribute information items that are present in the 
[attributes] property of SOAP Header block element information items 
may be transformed as described in 5.2.4 SOAP relay Attribute.
Comments ?
