PR issue 09

I think the issue is not so much “how can I implement my DAs on top of this protocol” . Many folks in eAC are quite experimented with RM and have known sequence numbers way before WS-RX started.

But without going as far as bringing back the DAs, at a minimum it would be helpful to demonstrate the following, either in the spec (appendix) or in a companion doc:

- whatever DAs (among most popular ones) are defined on top of this protocol, and assuming both sides are aware of which DA is being used (communicated out of band), then the protocol as defined is sufficient to *enable* the DAs and does not need additional interoperability tightening or extensions when actual DAs are implemented. Were it otherwise, it would mean that proprietary extensions to the protocol are needed that would introduce both interop and IP issues.

Now that probably isn’t enough to make everyone happy. Standard DAs to choose from, along with their parameters, are still expected from some users and are considered as part of the interop equation. But wherever these are defined – either wsrmp or elsewhere – it is important to show first that this has no bearing on the wsrm protocol layer and its implementations, i.e. this layer can be considered stable.
