The originator sends a message without mU set. An intermediary adds to
the WSS header and element that needs mU (such as one containing the
"notAfter" element mentioned yesterday). Now what happens? Should that
intermediary force mU on the global WSS element? Should that
intermediary have the "right" to impose header-wide semantics that
conflict with the security policy of the originator? I think the
answers should be no, therefore we need finer grain.
