RE: Middleboxes: Taxonomy and Issues

By the way, I recently made an observation about intermediaries in WS-Chor, which was picked up by the WSD WG: see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2003Dec/0003.html .

I responded to that message, hoping to start a new thread on that subject within WSD, but nobody responded.
