Hi Richard,

Two more related questions : 

What do producers make out of a user whose 
userContextKey=wsrp:minimal and userCategory=null ? How
is it different from a guest user whose userContextKey=wsrp:minimal
and userCategory=wsrp:minimal ?

For a guest user, would you recommend userCategory to be set to 
wsrp:minimal, even when a producer doesn't define any user
categories
in the ServiceDescription or defines user categories that are not one
of 
the  three standard user categories defined in the spec. Just want
to make sure, producers won't throw back InvalidUserCategoryFault
in 
this case.

thanks,
Maneesha
