Marty, I think you hit the nail on the head with this observation; On 9/28/06, Schleiff, Marty <marty.schleiff@boeing.com> wrote: > I think dereferencing is really nice for obtaining information about a > named entity, especially information that can change.

If I read the second one correctly, you're claiming that "reassignability" and "one-timeness" is identifier metadata, right? If so, why? And what breaks if it was treated otherwise? For example, what if, for the second example, the assertion source sent the URI in a message such as this one; <reassignable value="false">http://....</reassignable> Cheers, Mark.
