[NEW ISSUE] BWS50014 & BWS50015 are optional normative statements

[Mike Edwards <mike_edwards@uk.ibm.com>]

Target:  sca-wsbinding-1.1-cd04.pdf

Description: 

BWS50014 & BWS50015 are both optional
normative statements - this gives problems in meeting the exit requirements
and are not acceptable:

[BWS50014]	Policies and assertions SHOULD be signed to prevent tampering.
[BWS50015]	Policies SHOULD NOT be accepted unless they are signed and have an associated security token to specify the signer has proper claims for the given policy.

Proposal:

Make both statements non-normative,
replacing them with the following text:

"It is good practice for Policies
and assertions to be signed to prevent tampering.  
It is advisable that an SCA runtime
does not accept Policies unless they are signed and have an 
associated security token to specify
the signer has proper claims for the given policy."



Yours, Mike
