Re: WSRA Spec abstracts

I can live with these changes - however, I'd like to modify the abstracts 
in the specs themselves to match.  Let's discuss on tomorrow's call.

thanks

Per my AI [1], here's a first pass at some abstracts for our specs.  I 
really didn't do anything except copy the abstract from each spec - it 
seemed sufficient. 

WS-Transfer: 
This specification describes a general SOAP-based protocol for accessing 
XML representations of Web service-based resources. 

Looks fine.


WS-Eventing: 
This specification describes a protocol that allows Web services to 
subscribe to or accept subscriptions for notification messages 

Ditto.


WS-EventDescriptions: 
This specification describes a mechanism by which an endpoint can 
advertise the structure and contents of the events it might generate. 

Ditto.


WS-MetadataExchange: 
This specification defines how metadata associated with a Web service 
endpoint can be represented as resources, how metadata can be embedded in 
endpoint references, how metadata could be retrieved from a metadata 
resource, and how metadata associated with implicit features can be 
advertised. 

This one needs simplifying. It is possible that the spec is actually too 
complicated. I would say something more general and leave the details for 
the spec itself. How about:

This specification defines mechanisms for accessing metadata associated 
with a Web service-based resource.


WS-SOAPAssertions: 
This specification defines two WS-Policy assertions that can be used to 
advertise the requirement to use a certain version of SOAP in message 
exchanges. 

OK.


WS-Enumeration: 
This specification describes a general SOAP-based protocol for enumerating 
a sequence of XML elements that is suitable for traversing logs, message 
queues, or other linear information models. 

I think the application specifics are not necessary. I would simplify it 
to:

This specification describes a general SOP-based protocol for enumerating 
a sequence of XML elements from a SOAP enabled information source.
