WS-Addressing comment on ws-rm related to use of extended anonymous uri

As chair of WS-Addressing I am forwarding the following comment:

 

In July a comment was made to the WS-Addressing group concerning
interoperability issues related to the WS-Addressing WSDL binding and
the specific use of the anonymous address specified in the WS-RM public
review specification.

A WS-Addressing issue cr33 [2] was subsequently opened

Since the issue was opened, there have been three proposals entertained
and not accepted, and one further recently put into discussion.

 

It seems clear that after several meetings almost wholly focused on this
issue; the WS-Addressing working group is not converging on a
resolution.  The working group is evenly split between "close with no
action" and "keep working toward some resolution".

 

There is a reasonable potential that close with no action may be the
result.

 

We therefore request that an issue be raised related to this use of
anonymous within the WS-RX Working Group such that alternative forms of
reconciliation may be explored.

 

Thanks
