Not quite our situation. Certain operations
will need to access more than one resource during the processing of a single
message. How the set of resources is constructed and referenced by the
endpoint would be a matter between the factory and the resource disambigurator.
I would hope the client would not need to know or care that multiple resources
are involved and am raising the case seeking that both the language and
semantics permit such a pairing of a web service and a set of resources
within a single endpoint without requiring knowledgeable clients.

Rich:
To clarify, your situation is such that
a Web service deployed at some URL is the access point for a collection
(potentially many) resources?
Given my assumption is true, I don't
see why you have come to the conclusion that the definition of WS-Resource
precludes it. The examples in the WSA embodiments (sections 3.1 and
3.2) suggest this pattern where a single web service is front ending 2
resources. Note that it is the pair (web service + resource) that
is the WS-Resource. So in the examples in the WSA embodiments contain 2
WS-Resources.
Does this help?

Any reason the
