Title: EPR or WSDL

I think I promised to start a discussion on the subj. Here it is. It would be very interesting to know opinions of TC members on this. You can simply indicate your preference with a number as follows.

1) We can assume that for MUWS purposes manageability consumer must always posess an EPR (WS-Resource qualified EPR that is). WSDM does not specify how to get an initial EPR (as it is considered a common practice of some sorts).

2) Manageability consumer may posess a WSDL document, and not an EPR. WSDM defines a way to discover manageability given a WSDL document. This includes obtaining necessary EPRs by ananalyzing WSDL and sending messages, if necessary. WSDM does not define how to obtain WSDL documents as it is considered to be a common Web services practice.
