When does {safety} appear?

The wsdlx:safe extension is optional "extension MAY be used", but adds
the "REQUIRED" {safety} property.  The property has a default value of
"false".

 

>From this I assume that an implementation that supports the extension
will always have the safety property present, regardless of whether
wsdlx:safe appears in the WSDL.

 

I ask because the Woden interchange results don't seem to add the
property unless the attribute appears in the WSDL -- which is entirely
reasonable, and what I also prefer.  Namely, the absence of the property
should clearly be equivalent to the value "false".

 

I think the simple fix is to make the property OPTIONAL and remove the
defaulting to "false".  Then, if the attribute doesn't appear, the
property will be absent.
