" The RM Policy parameters in effect for each Sequence is governed by the endpoint that was used for the <wsrm:CreateSequence> message."
The snag is: the CS message is not associated with any particular endpoint. This is purely an RMS-to-RMD operation, not associated with any "application" message yet, and nothing requires the RMD to be aware of which destination endpoint this sequence is created for. For this to work I suggest an additional (optional) element in CS:
/wsrm:CreateSequence/wsrm:IntendedTo
Of type wsa:EndpointReferenceType.
By indicating this, the RMS signals to the RMD that it expects messages
sent within this sequence to follow the policy in effect for the intended
endpoint. If this element is absent, an RMD that serves several endpoints
with different policies will make its own decision, communicated by CSR.
Given this, I believe that with the current i075 proposal on the table, we do not have to worry about different policies (meaning different AIs and MaxNumbers) for multiple endpoints.
Consider the following scenario where the same pair of RMS-RMD is shared by different pairs AS endpoint -AD endpoint (AS-AD for short):
Step 1. AS is using RMS to reliably send a request to AD1 endpoint (AD1 for short), associated with RMD. In this scenario AS is not even aware of which policy is supported for AD1 (or it may have learned about it out of band - only use for AS is to make a decision to send or not to AD1).
Step 2. This was the first message for AD1, so RMS is creating a sequence that it will dedicate to messages intended to AD1 only. In the CS, the wsrm:IntendedTo takes the same value as the wsa:To of the (not yet transmitted) app message. The CSR tells the RMS which AI and MaxNumber are in effect for this sequence, per the policy associated with AD1. Then RMS sends the app message to AD1.
Step 3. AS is now sending a message to AD2 also served by the same RMD. The RMS creates a different sequence, intended to AD2. The CSR returns a new pair (AI, MaxNumber) based on AD2 policy.
Step N. Any new message sent by AS will be assigned by RMS to the right sequence, based on its destination endpoint info (AD1 or AD2). So the message is subject to the right policy which may differ from one seq to the other.
So I still suggest that the extension to Section 2.1 (quoted by Giovanni) in the current proposal is unnecessary. Even Paul's latest "recommendation" is.

Giovanni
I agree with what you are saying. I believe that this is
in the domain
of the WS-Policy working group to agree on.
I also think that there is a danger of us losing track
of where we are.
We changed the wording of the spec to *allow* the multiple endpoint
scenario, but we did not intend to define how it works (implementation
specific). It seems to me it is also up to the providers to ensure that
the policies match in that scenario. I suggest we simply use this
wording alone:
When a RM Destination provides RM services for more than
one endpoint
it is RECOMMENDED that all the endpoints should have the same values for
RM Policy parameters.
