(d) A clear English-language summary of the specification; 

The WS-SecureConversation specification defines extensions to allow security
context establishment and sharing, and session key derivation.  This allows
contexts to be established and potentially more efficient keys or new key
material to be exchanged, thereby increasing the overall performance and
security of the subsequent exchanges.  The security context is defined as a
new WS-Security token type that is obtained using a binding of WS-Trust.

(e) A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to similar
work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing organizations; 

This  specification utilizes the WS-Security specification and optionally
utilizes the SAML specifications.
