Hi The reconciliation with embedded/referenced WSDLs should happen irrespectively of whether a policy is attached to EPR through an embedded wsp:Policy or through a WS-Policy Attachment mechanism (as shown in the example in Section 3.4). What is the algorithm for reconciling an embedded wsp:Policy with the WSDLs ? The same algorithm should be applied to a WS-Policy Attachment example. If both EPR-embedded (wsp:Policy) and wsp:PolicyAttachment-attached policies are available at the same time then one of then should take precedence and then the chosen policy should be reconciled with WSDLs. As a side question : why would someone have a policy attached to/embedded in EPR anyway ? What is the advantage of doing it (and hence requiring a policy consumer to go through a reconcilation process) instead of attaching it directly to a policy subject inside a corresponding WSDL definition ?
