This is a new spec we're working on, no? Those implementations can continue to depend upon whatever version of the spec they currently depend upon.

Adding "in order to ultimately address" back in would be akin to undoing that change. The point of the change, as I see it, is to get identifying information out of the RefPs, and into the URI, and I consider that an enormous improvement over the WS-A submission. > That way we're not saying *what* goes in there, only > *why*.
