[Bug 6679] New: WS-MEX's stance towards metadata scope and semantics needs clarification

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6679

           Summary: WS-MEX's stance towards metadata scope and semantics
                    needs clarification
           Product: WS-Resource Access
           Version: PR
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: MetadataExchange
        AssignedTo: public-ws-resource-access-notifications@w3.org
        ReportedBy: gilbert.pilz@oracle.com
         QAContact: public-ws-resource-access-notifications@w3.org


The mex:Metadata element acts as a simple container for metadata. WS-MEX makes
no assertions about the scope, applicability or semantics of the metadata it
transfers. Any correlation between the returned metadata and the resource(s)
and/or service(s) exposed by the endpoint must be performed by the requester
using information out of band to the WS-MEX exchange.

The above needs to be clarified in normative text within WS-MEX.
