Subject: [ws-rx] New Issue: Update references to WS-Policy and WS-PolicyAttachment to point to W3C RECs

Title: Update references to WS-Policy and WS-PolicyAttachment to point
to W3C RECs

Description:
WSRM, WSRMP and MC specs point to WS-Policy/Attachment version 1.2 & W3C
CR specs and not the W3C Recommendations (version 1.5).

Justification:
Per the charter clarification ballot [1] which passed, the TC agreed to
update the deliverable section in the charter to:

"... Ratification of the above specifications as OASIS standards.
Following this, ratification of updated specifications as revised OASIS
standards to address any errata to fix errors and to replace policy
references to the WS-Policy W3C Recommendation as soon as that
Recommendation is available will mark the end of the TC's lifecycle."

Target: core, policy, mc

Proposal:
Per the ballot text:
1) replace the specs pointed to by [WS-Policy] with the one at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/REC-ws-policy-20070904/ in WSRM, WSRMP and MC
specification:

"[WS-Policy] W3C Recommendation "Web Services Policy 1.5 - Framework", 4
Sept, 2007."

2) replace the specs pointed to by [WS-PolicyAttachment] with the one at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/REC-ws-policy-attach-20070904/

"[WS-PolicyAttachment] W3C Recommendation "Web Services Policy 1.5 -
Attachment", 4 Sept, 2007."

3) In WSRM and MC spec:

In Table 1 add a new row:
| wsp | http://www.w3.org/ns/ws-policy | WS-Policy 1.5 |

Remove the following text in section 1.4:
"The assertions defined within this specification have been designed to
work independently of a specific version of WS-Policy. At the time of
the publication of this specification the versions of WS-Policy known to
correctly compose with this specification are WS-Policy 1.2 and 1.5.
Within this specification the use of the namespace prefix wsp refers
generically to the WS-Policy namespace, not a specific version."
