David:

I am confused. Why are you saying "it won't encrypt the headers"? The
introduction to the XML Encryption states:

"This document specifies a process for encrypting data and representing the
result in XML. The data may be arbitrary data (including an XML document),
an XML element, or XML element content. The result of encrypting data is an
XML Encryption EncryptedData element which contains (via one of its
children's content) or identifies (via a URI reference) the cipher data."

Last October, Microsoft published a WS-Security specification that is
supposed to make use of XML Digital Signature and XML Encryption. I believe
it is also supposed to work with WS-Routing. I think we should study the
Microsoft specs before concluding that XML Encryption is not relevant for
ebMS.
