I don't understand the comparison with WS-Addressing.

EPRs are references (dare I say identifiers [1] ;-) ) that 
specific/identify the place where messages are to be sent. RM is about 
reliably sending messages to endpoints and receiving acks at specific 
endpoint. EPRs are quite fundamental to message passing in WS-<splat>. I 
would argue more so than even SOAP. OTOH, security is typically 
architected as a separate entity (solved/implemented in once place but 
used in other places) that is composable. Other layers aren't quite 
aware of the details of it. In the same sense that reliable messaging 
isn't tightly coupled with transactions at the RM protocol level even 
though secure-reliable-transacted WS are quite important. They are 
separate but composable.

Good evidence for this is the fact that in WS-I the Basic Profile WG 
charter [2] was modified to include WS-Addressing (along with SOAP and 
WSDL) in the Basic Profile. Security profile is a separate profile in WS-I.
