WS-Addressing submitted to W3C as input

Folks:

Please see: http://www.w3.org/Submission/2004/05/.

This is a submission request to the
W3C by BEA, IBM, Microsoft, SAP and Sun to submit WS-Addressing to W3C
as input to the standardization process.

I would like to recommend that we consider
using WS-Addressing as submitted to the W3C in our work in WS-RF and WS-N.
 Note, our use of WSDL 1.1 (which was a submission to W3C, just like
WS-Addressing is now) is a precedence for this sort of pre-requisite.

I formally move that we use WS-Addressing
as our only means of reference mechanism. In particular, I propose that
we avoid abstracting the reference mechanism, such as BPEL has done, in
light of this submission of WS-Addressing to W3C.  Note, this minimizes
the perturbation to the currently specified message exchanges, and reduces
migration impediments for implementations that are building to the 1.1
and 1.2 versions of our specifications.
