Seeking closure on AC018

The RTF proposes the following ACs and ARs for AC018. Please comment on
these. We will be seeking adoption (without draft status) in the
requirements document at tomorrow's meeting. 

This new version of AC018 is partitioned into three sections: 18.1 managing
web service architecture implementations; 18.2 managing instances of web
services; and 18.3 ensuring that appropriate aspects of management are
supported.
