RE: [ebxml-msg] Removing Security of Attachments from Core Spec

I know this has been discussed previously, but I'd like to bring it
again on the table for discussion. I am suggesting deferring the security of
attachments to Part 2 of the ebMS-3 Specification. The main reason for this is
because the security of attachments is formally being part of WSS-1.1, whereas
the core part of ebMS-3 spec only supports WSS-1.0. I don’t like the
pick-and-choose approach (we can’t just pick one part of another version,
but not support the whole version, or have a position between two versions). I
understand the importance of security of the attachments for the business, but
we can assure the audience that it will be covered in Part 2, which by the way
can start before even finishing the core (we can start editing Part 2 in
parallel to the Core draft if nobody minds that).
