Oh, I don't think that I'd go so far.  I *would* say, however, that the 
most useful assertions are those associated with requirements (MUST, MUST 
NOT, REQUIRED per RFC 2119).  I think that recommendations (SHOULD, SHOULD 
NOT, RECOMMENDED) ought (SHOULD!) be applied mostly to those things which 
may have an impact on interoperation, without certainly causing problems.

For the case in point, multiple definitions of what amounts to the same 
endpoint under different names is something that seems fairly pointless, 
but I don't see a problem which is caused by doing so, for either the 
service or the service's consumers.  Consequently, I don't think we should 
offer a warning (I propose, instead, that we all cluster together, point, 
and snigger, then run away when the service looks at us, but I'm feeling 
rather teenaged today, I think).

Amy!
