Anish and I agreed to formulate a proposal for a policy assertion replacement to the wsaw:Anonymous marker. I think this matches option A6 in the latest mail from Bob listing the options. There are two options proposed below, and we suggest we accept Option 1 because it is simpler to use and harder to misconfigure. They are otherwise similar in their approach. In both cases, there is a configuration corresponding to unconstrained WSA behavior, plus two additional configurations in which the use of the backchannel is either mandated or prohibited for responses. Constrained configurations can only be specified for transports where a backchannel is available as an alternative. The names of the assertions are of course mildly irrelevant here, as long as they convey the correct meaning. One more point: these proposals assume no specific implementation of the represented behavior (which we think is the right thing to do, as long as it is clear that they are implementable). Option 1: Introduce three independent policy assertions with the meaning "full WSA support", "WSA supported with responses over backchannel only" and "WSA supported with responses over new connection only". wsaw:UsingAddressing is not necessary in this case and is therefore eliminated. <wsaw:WSASupported/> <wsaw:WSAResponseOverBackChannel/> <wsaw:WSAResponseOverNewConnection/> Option 2: Keep wsaw:UsingAddressing and add two policy assertions that qualify WSA support wrt the use of the backchannel: <wsaw:ResponsesOverBackchannelOnly/> <wsaw:ResponsesOverNewConnectionOnly/> If only wsaw:UsingAddressing is used, then unrestricted WSA support is assumed. If in addition to wsaw:UsingAddressing one of the assertions above is used, then WSA behavior is accordingly limited for response messages. In this case, using any of the Response* policy assertions requires using the wsaw:UsingPolicy marker as well. Paco and Anish
