OK, so how about :

Our charter indicates that we must specify how the MAPs are to be used
in order to achieve asynchrony with all WSDL 1.1 and 2.0 MEPs ([insert
list here]).  At present there is no interoperable way to do this,
partially due to limitations or omissions which exist in the current
SOAP and WSDL specs.  In order for the WS-Addressing group to declare
victory (and build a functional test suite), these limitations/omissions
must be remedied.

P.S.  With regard to the MEP list above, I assume we also want to add
Robust-In-Only to the WSDL 2.0 list.  Also, do we want to say anything
about using MAPs as the "secret sauce" enabling Out-Only and its ilk?
