Re: optionality and provider-only orthogonal

Hi Frederick

well, I regret that after all those messages wsp:local is still considered as something which is not
"provider-only".

Can you clarify what do you mean here please ? What does it imply ? Does it imply that "provider-only" assertions are removed as 
Ashok said ? Anything else ?

Thanks, Sergey
