---

At the start of Section 9, the Assembly spec says:
2934"There are a variety of SCA artifacts which are generally useful and 
which are not specific to a
2935 particular composite or a particular component. These shared 
artifacts include intents, policy sets,
2936 bindings, binding type definitions and implementation type definitions.
2937 All of these artifacts within an SCA Domain are defined in SCA 
contributions in files called METAINF/definitions.xml (relative to the 
contribution base URI).

This is much too restrictive.  Why do intents and policySets have to 
appear in a file?
Intents and policySets are identified by QNames and we should use the 
normal QName/URI
resolution mechanisms to locate them.  This helps the separation of 
policy and executable code
which is a desirable goal.

Intents and policySets can be located in namespaces and the namespaces 
can be included in the domain.

All the best, Ashok
