Re: WS-Addr issues

Good to know, but I fail to see how that statement matches with your 
previous one. Unfortunately it's a fact of standards work that 
sometimes these things take longer than originally expected if full and 
frank and open discussions are to take place. I agree that we don't 
want this exercise to just drag on and on (there was too much of that 
in the WS-Arch group), but let's have a good discussion for a few days, 
log an issue, and vote.
