Re: LC Comments from SAWSDL WG (WS Policy issue 4188)

Hello Joel,

Thank you for your comment. The WS Policy WG has is tracking this issue
as http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4188 .

We discussed it at http://www.w3.org/2007/01/16-ws-policy-irc#T22-07-41
. Our resolution is that we agree with your sentiment. We will add a
reference to SAWSDL not in the attachment document [1], but in the
guidelines document [2], and make explicit in that document that there
is no overlap between SAWSDL and WS Policy. See also the discussion
thread at [3].
