RE: Bug 3556

On the August 9 telcon the WG agreed to close this issue with the wording suggested by Asir. See below. Minutes of the August 9 call are at http://www.w3.org/2006/08/09-ws-policy-minutes.html.  Note that this wording specifically excludes the reference to WS-Addressing which provides a mechanism for attaching Policies to endpoints. I was asked to add this reference at the Austin meeting by, I think, Chris Ferris. I'm making this comment as the WG may have overlooked this.  NEW TEXT  The Web Services Policy 1.5 - Framework [Web Services Policy Framework] specification defines an abstract model and an XML-based language for expressing policies of entities in a Web services-based system. This specification, Web Services Policy 1.5 - Attachment, defines two general-purpose mechanisms for associating policies with the subjects to which they apply; the policies may be defined as part of existing metadata about the subject or the policies may be defined independently and associated through an external binding to the subject.  To enable Web Services Policy to be used with existing Web service technologies, this specification also describes the use of these general purpose mechanisms for attaching policies to with WSDL [WSDL 1.1, WSDL 2.0 Core Language] definitions and UDDI [UDDI API 2.0, UDDI Data Structure 2.0, UDDI 3.0].  
All the best, Ashok
