Re: [issue 6432] - a modest proposal

I wouldn't describe the situation the same way.  I don't believe the 
proposal suggests that
people keep 'A' - rather it simply offers it as an option for those who do 
not wish to change
their code.  If I were starting from scratch with my implementation I 
would much prefer to
have a single way of expressing how/where to send messages, not two. 
That's the
more interoperable solution.

As for "keeping A" - let's not forget that "A" is broken. People are free 
to continue to use it
as they do today, as long as they understand the limitations. But WS-E 
itself should promote
a solution that isn't broken and is consistent with the rest of the WS-* 
stack.

thanks

I am not talking about the quality of the solutions here. My point was 
that we currently have solution 'A' in Eventing, and the possibility of 
using solution 'B' using a mU trick. You propose to add in Eventing 
solution 'B' but keep 'A' and just add a mU to 'A'.
Regardless of what are 'A' and 'B', I see absolutely no gain wrt 
interoperability. We still have two different solutions that won't 
interoperate.
