I can get us something like:
http://www.w3.org/2002/04/soap-sec

Don't know. I'm happy with Christopher's suggestion.

Don't know. My point is there is no reason for people to have process 
paralysis. I can get the authors a namespace, and this forum is suitable 
for such conversation. If someone wants a web services security activity, 
with a charter, requirements last call, and the guarentees and coordination 
of process, then one needs a chartered activity But that shouldn't stop 
people from banging around a document on the technical side here -- given 
that this work must be compatible with the IPR terms of the xenc and xmlp 
WGs if its to be used by those activities (or some new form thereof).
