(There's the RelatesTo property too.) If another addressing mechanism doesn't support such a feature then its pretty much busted IMO. In any case, this is all hooks we're putting to avoid a political problem at this time IMO. For the success of the Web services platform, it is ABSOLUTELY critical that there be one and only one addressing/referenceing/whatchamacallit standard. Until we get there everything is and will be broken. As far as WSDL is concerned, if we can create a solution that can work with that standard then we're in business. In the meantime, it better work with the current bevvy of candidates too. Sanjiva.
