That would be useful but what worries me is that it might
become necessary.  If everyone were truly interop'ing nicely
then we wouldn't need that matrix, you could connect up to
anyone who claims to support your service and just run.  If
the server on the other side doesn't support something you're
sending (like mustunderstand headers) then you shouldn't have
to check a matrix first, the server should just fault (ie. not
lie).

 Bingo !
That's exactly what I've been driving at, i.e., the testing needs to be
richer.=A0 Attempting to create a subset of v1.1 in the BDG *is* not a good=
 a
idea.=A0 Reporting the comprehensive testing results against a variability
matrix works, because the SOAP developer and utilize the matrix to
determine
the best fit for his needs.=A0 This way the BDG is avoids *any* potential
E&Os.

Doug, is this inline with your thoughts?
