Subject: NEW Issue - Clarify use of WS-Policy for devices

Please defer discussions on this issue until a time this issue is
accepted and is assigned a number.

Document: DPWS
Location (defaults to line number): 831
Owner: Antoine Mensch

Description:
it is not clear whether R2037 applies to devices, hosted services or
both. While hosted services have an associated WSDL document which can
be extended with WS-Policy information, it is not clear from the
specification that devices have an associated WSDL document. Currently,
the WSDL section of the specification only mentions hosted services. If
devices should have WSDL documents associated to them, rules for writing
them should be explained, as the semantics of WSDL elements applied to
devices is not obvious.

Proposed resolution:
