I don't think so.  There's no security primitives that
would fit the bill of reliable messaging (RM), which I
sometimes characterize as "layer-7 TCP" where a session
between two endpoints may span over several time-serialized
connections, disconnections, reconnections.
AG006 may include securing RM, but not RM per se.

While at it, let me mention that if you want to include 
RM in WS-Arch, then you may as well not leave out transaction
processing.

                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There no security primitives that can guarantee data arrival.
