I didn't follow the WS-Security discussion, but having just read this
liason message, I'm quite confused by the text I quoted above.  Does
anybody have an example of a SOAP module that needs a WSDL definition?

The latest editor's draft of the SOAP 1.2 spec, part 1, defines a module
as;

"[...]the set of syntax and semantics associated with implementing a
particular feature (see 3.1 SOAP Features) as SOAP header blocks[...]"

which, to me, is a completely different thing than a software component
with a network interface which needs describing.

Am I understanding this correctly?
