Re: Policy assertions for CR33

At the end of yesterdays call I suggested renaming the proposed  
assertions to align them with terminology already in the spec. Here  
are some suggested names:

Option 1:

<wsaw:WSASupported/>
<wsaw:WSAAnonymousResponses/>
<wsaw:WSANonAnonymousResponses/>

Option 2:

<wsaw:AnonymousResponsesOnly/>
<wsaw:NonAnonymousResponsesOnly/>

Thanks,
Marc.
