This definition sounds ok to me. Note per the WSA doc, "Agents are programs that engage in actions on behalf of someone or something else. For our purposes, agents realize and request Web services. In effect, software agents are the running programs that drive Web services - both to implement them and to access them." So an agent is basically just a logical grouping of one or more services which may be each deployed in a different endpoint. If we adopt this definition, then there is no need for us to introduce another MEP for in-out. What's already in the spec today for in-out should cover the reply-to case.
