RE: D-AC005 CSFs

Err, we had lots of discussion on 5.1, 5.14, and 5.15 at Paris.  I agree
with Mike's suggestion that we remove them.

In particular, 5.1 is quite ... odd.  IMO, one of the very key aspects of
our job is to rigidly define terms (what is a web service?  what does
authentication of web services mean?  etc.) that provide a standardized
language for talking about web services.  This is embodied in the glossary.
So ironically, we need to create specialized jargon so that we can clearly
talk about our problem area.  A new area of reasoning requires a new
language, which equals specialized jargon.

Cheers,
Dave
