There's actually more to it than that, at one level higher of transparency: The biggest advantage of WS-Addressing (and any spec that covers this general area) is that one is not tied to one particular mechanism for specifiying this type of information in - for example, SOAP. Rather, these mechanisms, if employed, can help "future-proof" an implementation by enabling the addressing and endpoint identification capabilities to hold, no matter what transport mechanisms may be used in the future.
