RE: [ws-rx] RE: Absence of wsam:NonAnon implies prohibition of non-anon response (was RE: [ws-rx] I just posted a PR comment on MakeConnection Policy assertion)

(trimmed the CC-list as this is really homing in on WS-Addr specific stuff).
 
I agree that the second of your two policies would work (mod the changes
Ashok suggested in WS-RX). The first policy really illustrates the point I
am trying to make. IF we define the absence of wsam:NonAnonymousResponses to
mean "senders must not send messages with ReplyTo and/or FaultTo addresses
that are not wsa:Anon" then your first policy won't get me what I want. I
want to send messages to this endpoint with a ReplyTo that contains
wsmc:Anon so that later, I can retrieve the response using
wsmc:MakeConnection. But wsmc:Anon != wsa:Anon so I would be violating the
wsam:Addressing assertions.
 
I think we need to either make a special case for the absence of
wsam:NonAnonymousResponses OR we have to document the fact that you will
almost always need to have it present if you don't want to rule out the
possibility of "other things" like WS-MC.

<wsp:Policy> 
  <wsp:ExactlyOne> 
    <wsp:All> 
      <wsa:Addressing> 
        <wsa:AnonymousResponses/> 
      </wsa:Addressing> 
    </ws:All> 
    <wsp:All> 
      <wsa:Addressing/> 
      <wsmc:MCSupported/> 
    </ws:All> 
  </wsp:ExactlyOne> 
</wsp:Policy> 

I believe that is the policy that you are seeking. One could argue that this
policy is also 
valid (and consistent with what we are trying to express): 

<wsp:Policy> 
  <wsp:ExactlyOne> 
    <wsp:All> 
      <wsa:Addressing> 
        <wsa:AnonymousResponses/> 
      </wsa:Addressing> 
    </ws:All> 
    <wsp:All> 
      <wsa:Addressing> 
        <wsa:NonAnonymousResponses/> 
      </wsa:Addressing> 
      <wsmc:MCSupported/> 
    </ws:All> 
  </wsp:ExactlyOne> 
</wsp:Policy> 

Of course, the key is that the nested policy is optional. So, for those of
you who think that the 
MCanon is inconsistent with wsa:NonAnonymousResponses, then the former
example might be 
more suitable.
