Policy tools may use any protocols (say Web Services Metadata Exchange) for such metadata retrieval. These protocols may require additional out of band information. </old> <new> Use the referenced IRI and retrieve a policy expression from some policy repository (local or remote), registry, or catalog. Policy tools or policy-aware clients may use any protocols (say UDDI or Web Services Metadata Exchange) for such metadata retrieval. These protocols may require additional out of band information. </new> Rationale: Policy-aware clients may also need to retrieve policies, not just tools. WS-Policy - Attachment REC has normative references to UDDI (an OASIS standard). Attachment REC makes non-normative reference to WS-MEX. Either or both protocols may be used in retrieval of policy. UDDI is considered a "registry", not a "repository". Perhaps UDDI can be considered a "catalog", but usually the term "registry" is used. Since it may be too late now to add a major section to the Primer, has the WG considered a separate WG Note that would provide more detail about what it means to be a "policy-aware client"? The phrase "policy-aware client" is used, but I think there is probably more to say about them. Paul
