This certainly needs to be stated explicitly in the RI spec.  When I
looked into this issue earlier this year, it appeared we were supporting
1.1.  Our leading toolkits supported SOAP 1.1 by default.  Furthermore, we
were using WSDL 1.0 which defines binding only for SOAP 1.1.  Given this,
it seemed sensible to go with 1.1.

I'm not sure it's prudent to go to SOAP 1.2 while WSDL 2.0 is still in WD, 
unless someone can spell out clearly how 1.2 can be used with WSDL 1.0 
(using the usual toolkits).

It would be good to get a statement from the Grid&WS WG on this issue.
