Section 2-1 [reference parameters] property states:

  'Reference parameters are also provided by the issuer of the endpoint
  reference and are otherwise assumed to be opaque to consuming
  applications.'

The "otherwise" implies that the reference parameters cannot be treated
as opaque by the issuer (who might not be the receiving service, e.g. a
broker).  Reference parameters might be understood only by the service
being addressed.

Suggest rewording by striking "also" and "otherwise":

  'Reference parameters are provided by the issuer of the endpoint
  reference and are assumed to be opaque to consuming applications.'
