It is a global flag.

Those might be a problem, esp if we need to compose those with the newer actions for the delegation flow.  Can you off-hand give me any examples, or point me to package names, etc?

I'm not finding anything so you're probably right that nothing actually is doing that. But I thought I remembered the encoder implementation being able to handle either a payload or an Envelope as the input message to encode, so I assumed there might be something like that lurking around.
