Comments / updates:

List Item #2: ("A clear English-language summary of the specification")

The summary is using wording ("SOAP Module") that we removed  in recent versions. 

Suggests to reuse text from new Intro (instead of 1st paragraph under 2):

"WS-Reliability is a SOAP-based ([SOAP 1.1] and [SOAP 1.2 Part 1]) specification that fulfills reliable messaging requirements critical to some applications of Web Services. SOAP over HTTP [RFC2616] is not sufficient when an application-level messaging protocol must also guarantee some level of reliability and security. This specification defines reliability in the context of current Web Services standards. This specification has been designed for use in combination with other complementary protocols and builds on previous experiences (e.g., ebXML Message Service [ebMS].)"

List Item #4: 

Fujitsu has successfully used for implementation the WS-Reliability committee 

draft 1.086 approved for final submission to OASIS, consistently with the OASIS 

IPR Policy.

Draft Submission Letter for WS-Reliability 1.1

1. A formal specification that is a valid member of its type, together

with appropriate documentation for the specification, both of which

must be written using approved OASIS templates.

Zip file at: 

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsrm/download.php/8928/WS-Reliability-CD1086.zip 

containing the following five files:

WS-Reliability-CD1086.pdf WS-Reliability version 1.1, CD 1.086

ws-reliability-1.1.xsd Ws-Reliability schema

reference-1.1.xsd Reference type schema

fnp-1.1.xsd Features and Properties schema

wsrmfp-1.1.xsd wsrm features and properties schema

2. A clear English-language summary of the specification.

WS-Reliability version 1.1 specifies a SOAP Module (as defined by [SOAP

1.2]), which fulfills reliable messaging requirements that are critical

in some applications of Web Services. The WS-Reliabilty Specification,

version 1.1, specifies a transport-agnostic protocol based on SOAP for

providing quality of service in the reliable delivery of messages.

This specification defines the following reliability features:

- Guaranteed message delivery, or At-Least-Once delivery semantics.

- Guaranteed message duplicate elimination, or At-Most-Once delivery 

semantics.

- Guaranteed message delivery and duplicate elimination, or Exactly-Once 

delivery semantics.

- Guaranteed message ordering for delivery, within a group of messages.

3. A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to

similar work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing

organizations.

This specification has been designed to be used in combination with

other complementary protocols, and has built upon previous experiences

from the ebXML Message Service [ebMS].) Both WS-Reliability and ebMS

have same messaging reliability contracts as objectives: guaranteed 

delivery, no duplicate delivery, ordered delivery, and combinations of

these.

However, WS-Reliability has improved on scalability and performance by

generalizing the use of sequence numbers, and can accommodate different

security and access conditions on each party, as this is more

frequently the case with a Web service and its clients, compared to

more symmetrical access conditions in messaging. The reliability

contract is more "application-oriented" in WS-R, where acknowledgment

is on final delivery, in contrast to "on receipt" by the message

handler in ebMS.

4. Certification by at least three OASIS member organizations that they

are successfully using the specification consistently with the OASIS IPR

Policy.

The chair has received statements from the following TC member

organizations. We include pointers to the e-mail archive record of the 

statements made.

<note the following letters do not explicity mention WS-Reliability CD 

1.086, and should be updated by the member companies to add the explicit 

reference to the CD>
