On POAs and SOAs

[Frank McCabe <frank.mccabe@us.fujitsu.com>]

I think that the distinction between SOAs and POAs may be getting 
clearer -- although I personally would like to see more clarity on 
POAs.

However, this leaves a big question mark -- is the *industry* looking 
to us to define what *we* think is an SOA, or what *they* expect to see 
in an SOA.

(Of course, I am aware that there is no *they* there ..)

Speaking for ourselves,  we definitely *include* concepts such as 
security, service composition, management in what *we* think of as SOA.

I would like us to consider whether we can encompass a broader view of 
SOA in our reference model -- specifically to include process 
management/composition. I believe that the security story will come out 
adequately in the current direction of the RM.
