How do you reconcile that with the fact that the WSRM TC produced a spec 
called WS-Reliability?

I, for one, prefer that the name of the spec not be changed as that will, 
IMO, keep the confusion 
to a minimum. Adding yet another spec name to the mix will only serve to 
increase confusion, not decrease it
as Marc points out.
