XML namespace
SOAP 1.2 envelope
The SOAP 1.2 envelope namespace, and the reason a 1.1 endpoint rejects a 1.2 message outright.
xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"SOAP 1.2 changed the envelope namespace, restructured faults into <env:Code> and <env:Reason>, and moved from the text/xml media type to application/soap+xml.
Because the namespace is the version marker, a client that sends this URI to a SOAP 1.1 service gets a VersionMismatch fault rather than a parse error — the message is valid XML, just addressed to the wrong protocol version.
