Re: Corrected Proposed Alternative A for resolution of ws addr metadata LC comment

Tom,

This sentence implies a requirement on the request message:

"The appearance of this element within a policy alternative indicates that 
the
subject requires any request message that has responses to include 
response
endpoint EPRs that contain the anonymous URI
("http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/anonymous") as the value of 
[address]."

Whereas, this sentence implies that the requirement is scoped to the 
response message:

"In other words, the subject requires that response instances are sent 
using the
anonymous URI."

I personally think that explaining the requirement in terms of what is 
required by the client request message is preferable because the whole 
point of this service policy is for client<->service policy negotiations. 
The client needs to narrow the available service policies to a single 
alternative prior to sending the request. 

If we agreed that nested policies apply to client requests (rather than 
responses), we can still fix the problem of  mixing replyTo-anon and 
faultTo=nonAnon.  As the proposal stands, 
AnonymousResponse/NonAnonymousResponse contradict each other so cannot 
exist together within a single alternative. This could be fixed by:
1) adding a 3rd nested assertion indicating that the request message must 
contain differing values for replyTo and faultTo (one anon, the other 
non-anon).  Eg 'AnonymousAndNonAnonymousResponses'.  This has the benefit 
of allowing service providers to omit this assertion if they were unable 
to support this more complex mixed-response type scenario. 
2) alternatively, we could revert back to specifying support rather than 
requirement thus allowing the nested assertions to co-exist within a 
single alternative.  This has the benefit that it makes the nested 
assertions composable, but it goes against the direction indicated by the 
wsp team.

thanks,
Katy

Well that case can still be handled by having two or more nested 
alternatitves.


Remember the alternatives are for responses not requests.  Each reply to 
and fault to
is a separate response.

However, I still in more in favor of alternative D) to delete the nested 
policy assertions
for Addressing assertion
