 WS-MetadataExchange 
specification defines three request-response message pairs to retrieve these 
three types of metadata. One retrieves the WS-Policy associated with the receiving endpoint or with a 
given target namespace; another retrieves either the WSDL associated 
with the receiving endpoint or with a given target namespace; a third retrieves 
the XML Schema with a given target namespace. Together these messages allow 
efficient, incremental retrieval of a Web service's metadata.

WS-MetadataExchange does not require WS-Policy, where did you read this 
?

Dave,

I was merely advocating caution and not advocating a 
"re-invent"ed
solution.

AFAIK, WS-MetadataExchange drags in WS-Policy 
as well. Is this what you
are advocating? Adding dependency on two more 
specs? If you need to
implement WSDM?

Reducing dependencies as the critera for problem solving 
means
re-inventing the wheel when potentially adequate technologies are 
not
used to solve such problems.  One of my pet peeves is the 
continual
re-invention of the wheel that people want to do.

Is there 
something technically inferior in ws-metadatexchange for this
problem 
space?

Cheers,
Dave
