During the discussion of Enum policy on Thursday we seem to have agreed 
on 2 principles.  Since these were not
called out explicitly, I thought I would send a note calling them out to 
see if we can get the WG to bless them as
general principles applicable to all the specs. 

1. Endpoint policy is contained within the Metadata child of the EPR as 
recommended by WS-Addressing

<wsa:EndpointReference>
   <wsa:Address>xs:anyURI</wsa:Address>
   <wsa:ReferenceParameters>xs:any*</wsa:ReferenceParameters>
   <wsa:Metadata>
     *( <wsp:Policy ...> ... </wsp:Policy> |
         <wsp:PolicyReference ...> ... </wsp:PolicyReference> )?*
       ...
   </wsa:Metadata>
</wsa:EndpointReference>

2. In WS-RA the use of Policy is primarily to indicate Endpoint 
capabilities.
To allow domain independent processing, each capability MUST be 
indicated by a
policy assertion with a unique QName i.e. the assertion QName indicates 
the capability.
