Subject	[sca-assembly] Inconsistency with the valid source/target for wire element

Hi, 

There is an inconsistency in the sca-assembly-1.1-spec-WD-03.pdf about
what are valid value of the @source/@target of the <wire>:

Line 1568: 
The wire element has the following attributes: 
• source (required) – names the source component reference. Valid URI
schemes are: 
o <component-name>/<reference-name> 
􀂃 where the source is a component reference. The specification of
the reference name is optional if the source component only has one reference
• target (required) – names the target component service. Valid URI schemes
are 
o <component-name>/<service-name> 
􀂃 where the target is a service of a component. The specification
of the service name is optional if the target component only has one service
with a compatible interface 

Line 4173: 
SCA wires connect service references to services. 
Within a composite, valid wire sources are component references and composite
services. Valid wire targets are component services and composite references.

IMO, composite services/references now use the "promote" to connect
to the promoted component services/references. I assume we only allow component
reference as the source and component service as the target for <wire>.

Is it a known issue? Can somebody clarify? 

Thanks, 
Raymond
