It can't certainly be WSDL and we can expect the developers to read this mailing list before implementing the spec. Doing nothing will only lead to confusion. It ought to be documented in the policy specs, probably in the WSDL part of the attachment spec. Besides your suggestion, we can say: - don't mix WSDL extensions and WS-Policy, ie if your extension has a corresponding policy assertion, then you should only use the policy assertion if Policy is engaged. - ignore all WSDL extensions when Policy is engaged. The inconvenient of the last approach is of course the limitation introduced in the Web services stack, which would force us to bend Policy later on to use extensions that don't necessarily have a place there.
