mfeingol /wsat:ATAssertion

A policy assertion that specifies that an atomic transaction MUST be flowed inside a requester's message. From the perspective of the requester, the target service that processes the transaction MUST behave as if it had participated in the transaction. The transaction MUST be represented as a SOAP header in CoordinationContext format, as defined in WS-Coordination [WS-Coordination].

/wsat:ATAssertion/@wspptional="true"

Per WS-Policy [WS-Policy], this is compact notation for two policy alternatives, one with and one without the assertion.

mfeingol Presence of both policy alternatives indicates that the behavior indicated by the assertion is optional, such that an atomic transaction MAY be flowed inside a requester's message. The absence of the assertion is interpreted to mean that a transaction SHOULD NOT be flowed inside a requester's message.
