Not clear to me that I would call it a dependency.....

I think what would be acceptable is a position which goes something 
like: We use the proposed framework subject to the following:

1. The intended scope of use of this framework as an extension point in 
WSDL1.1 is constrained to be within the WS-RM spec. This will not be 
advertised in the WS-RM spec as a standalone framework for use in WSDL 
1.1 in general.

2. When  WS-RM evolves to work with WSDL 2.0, assuming that in WSDL 2.0 
a standard mechanism is provided for annotating WSDL with 
properties/policies, WS-RM in that version would use the mechanism 
provided in WSDL 2.0 instead of the stopgap framework that is being 
proposed for WSDL 1.1.

BTW, there are other candidate ways of doing this (e.g. resource 
properties in WSRF, or the Quality of Protection patterns as found in 
WS-Security - after all all that is being addressed is annotation about 
QoS properties/policies in the realm of Reliability), so we (HP) are not 
necessarily married to this one that is being proposed, but would be 
happy to have any one (including the one being proposed) that works in 
the interim until the underlying core standard like WSDL grows up to 
cover this space.
