Thanks!  This is helpful.

How critical is the Web Queue resource to the scenario?  It would be nice,
for the purposes of the WSA document, to have a "pure" REST approach

The "correlation set" is mentioned as a bit of an afterthought.  It would be
nice if it were more closely integrated into the sketch of the solution.
Would the correlation set be, or be based on, the URI returned from the
