My take on this is that the WR_Resource Lifetime and that of any security
context are orthogonal and the spec will remain silent on this issue. An
implementation could be designed to automatically update the security
context at the same time.

Of course you could expose your security context as a WS-Resoucre then the
same mechanism would apply to both the resource and the security context.
The final step is to extend a SeviceGroup containing both the resource and
the security context and do them both at once. (Note: this collective
application of operations is NOT part of the basic ServiceGroup semantics,
hence the need for extension. See WSDM Collections.)
