NEW ISSUE: Need to clarify definition of Bidirectional Interfaces

["Tom Rutt" <tom@coastin.com>]

Nature of Issue:  The text which defines the semantics of Bidirectional
interface need clarification.

The text on Bidirectional interface currently states that the inclusion of
a callbackInterface attribute is used to identify an interface
to be bidirectional.  This only give information on correlation of the
entire callback interface with the service interface.

However, there are three questions regarding correlation of individual
operation types defined for the bidirectional interface, which are not
answered by this specification:

1) Does every operation type invoked onto the "service interface"
direction have the potential to have correlated callback interface
operations in the opposite direction?

2) Does every operation invocation invoked onto the callback interface
have to be considered as a callback for an operation invocation on the
service interface?

3) How can it be specified (at design time) which  operation types defined
in the callback interface description can be correlated with which
individual operation types defined in the service interface description?
