This seems quite wrong to me. Special casing the use of 'none' for the 
Representation header goes against the SOAP processing model - use of 
'none' requests that the header block isn't processed by 
intermediaries. The Representation header should follow normal SOAP 
processing rules. I'm opposed to this resolution.
