I think we're on the same page. I'm probably just not using terminology properly. Also, the 
WS-Security Username Token stuff is in the SOAP message, so I wasn't considering it since it isn't 
part of the transport protocol.

At any rate, the main point is that we don't need to discover the transport binding since we agreed 
on this already. Yes?
