Subject: Re: [ws-caf] outstanding issues for WS-Context


context manager is important for by-reference protocols only. Classes of 
protocols that restrict themselves to by-value context representation 
would find these operations useless; we prefer to see the seperation and 
more importantly optionality of maintained.

So, the idea of making context-service and context-manager a single reference, although interesting to explore, should be deferred to after the 1.0 release IMO.

In other words, if we "secure" then we authorize (and there are various kinds of reads and writes); to authorize we have to authenticate -- which was where my thinking fell down. Authentication by interface reference (I'll give you references only for the operations I wish you to use) only works if the references are artificially different, and after a while it won't be hard to work around that type of "protection".
