RE: Updated proposal for WS-Policy assertions

Thanks Tony, but this does not answer my question. See below. 

As a policy wonk, I look at it and scratch my head. In my opinion, you
could easily move wsaw:UsingAddressing as a policy assertion with
wsp:optional if the capability was not required. However, if the spec
does not explain this well and most importantly the interaction between
the new assertions and the existing marker, it would not be useful. 

For example, 

(a) should I be able to indicate the capability of addressing
independent of WSDL?
(b) If addressing is not enabled, should I be able to attach a policy
expression with WS-A assertions on top? 
C)If my intersection algorithm understands the 3 policy assertions, do I
still have to look at WSDL to make sense of the complete picture?  
(d) How does WS-Policy intersection algorithm work depending on how you
answer question 2? 

I am trying to answer these myself, so I do not think that the fat lady
has started to sing yet although the necessary steps were made in the
right direction. 

Cheers,
