As part of my action item reviewing the Handling Privacy In WSDL 2.0
note[1], I have looked at where using a feature was restrictive when
defining one to indicate a P3P privacy policy applying to data being
exchanged by the Web service.

In addition to not being usable on a service component, one cannot use
a feature on an endpoint component. The use case here was that two
endpoints could be providing the same service with two different
privacy policies.

I also noted that the pseudo-schemas in Part 1 didn't always show that
one could use a feature, e.g. for message reference or fault
reference. I believe that it should be added for all the components
listed in section 2.7.1.1.

Rereading the Handling Privacy In WSDL 2.0 note, I realized that it
wrongly states that one couldn't use a feature an a message reference
or fault reference, which probably comes from reading the
pseudo-schema.
