I understand WS-CF AssertionTypes.

To repeat, my issue is not with either WS-CF or WS-Context, but with the
plethora of *new* business transaction protocols in WS-TXM. 

I also understand that the WS-CAF agenda calls for WS-Context and WS-CF
to be discussed first and WS-TXM later, and so will be happy to take
this particular thread back to the BTP list from which it sprang.
