WS-Naming extensibility question

[Posted on the OGSA-Naming list by Bob Natale]

This comment comes (for all practical purposes) from a layman* reader of WS-Naming -- so calibrate accordingly, please! 
:)
 
There is an apparent disconnect between the comment in Sec. 2.3 ("This profile defines extensions to the wsa:Metadata 
extensibility point within WS-Addressing.") and the disclaimer in App. B, to wit: "This section identifies extensibility
 points for the Profile's component specifications. These mechanisms are out of the scope of the Profile; their use may 
affect interoperability, and may require private agreement between the parties to a Web service."
 
If the Profile defines extensions to the wsa:Metadata extensibility point, how can wsa:Metadata extensions also be "out 
of scope of the Profile"?  Or does the comment in App. B mean to refer only to the other two parts of WS-Addressing 
extensibility?

Re: WS-Naming extensibility question

I think you are right, for wsa:Metadata the statement should say that the use of the extensibility point is out of scope
 except as profiled in WS-Naming.

Re: WS-Naming extensibility question

I agree with Andreas and this change should simple enough to execute. I think it is mostly editorial and therefore 
should not require a further public comment.
