RE: [RTF] Glossary entry ""metric of Architectural component"

I don't think I understand your comment, Mark.
Hardware is used today to implement security techniques. See  [1] for a
sample.
I will not speak for some of the companies involved who are well represented
in this WG, but I definitely think some components of Web Services 
will be implemented in hardware. It is not appropriate to say that WSA is
a "software" architecture. Just "architecture" would suffice, IMO.
Having said this, I will let the h/w company representatives to pick up this
debate
if they chose - this is not something I want to spend time debating.

Ok, I'll take an action item to notify the editors when that happens.
