The reason ResourceIdentifier is NOT used is that an EPR does not
provide "identity" for a resource. An EPR is only a reference to a
resource.

The use and rules associated with reference parameters is covered in
WS-Addressing and should not be covered in this spec.

Subject: [wsrf] Comments on wsrf-ws_resource-1.2-spec-wd-07

There now seems to be three concepts used with the space two pages:

	Resource Identifier
	Reference to a WS-Resource (which is structurally tied to
WS-Addressing)
	And, in the SOAP example: SomeDisambiguatorElement

These three concepts are never explicitly related to one other.
Obviously, SomeDisabmiguator is part of the reference to a WS-Resource
(ReferenceParameters).  Further, I assume, after carefully trying to
connect things that are in the text, that the Resource Identifier is at
least one possible "disambiguator element".  If so, would be clearer to
use <ResourceIdentifier>R1</ResourceIdentifier> rather than
<SomeDisambiguatorElement> in the example? After all, the text does say
that "R1" "identifies" the resource
