this is really a soap-specific issue, not a beep- or soap-over-beep issue.

the answer is the "server" can either have some kind of pre-knowledge over the kind of messages it gets (i.e., the service it offers only dones one-way exchanges), or, the first thing the "server" does is parse the envelope and thereby know what's what.

there, are, of course, some interesting failure modes with either approach.
