Re: AC006.2: Web Services Security Policies

I am also confused about the role of policies in the architecture.  

The mental model I have is that the architecture specifies the threat model,
the security technology provides the mechanisms to combat the identified
threats, and particular services provide the policies that utilize and
coordinate the mechanisms in particular contexts.
