                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I believe the word "mechanism" should be replaced with "protocol."
It's a bad thing to standardize mechanisms.  It stymies creativity.
(Standardizing protocols and formats is a good thing, OTOH.)

DAG0017 

The reference architecture should provide guidance for the development the web services infrastructure needed for implementing common business functions.

  
Measurements: 
Is there a standard mechanism for implementing reliable messaging? 
Transaction processing?  
Routing and intermediaries? 
Is there a standard way to uniquely identify and order messages involved with a web service?
