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.
