+1 If it turns out that standardizing such a mechanism
does become something of great utility, we can easily add it in a future
version without breaking anything. Plus we'd have some real use cases on
which to base the design.

[sca-bindings] Re: Issue BINDINGS-107

Folks, here's my opinion on BINDINGS-107, I'd appreciate your comments/opinions.

The main purpose of having JMS and JCA binding elements in the definitions
file is to allow a single JMS/JCA application to be accessed from several
SCA references or services without having to duplicate all the details
of connection and operation mapping. That's primarily due to the fact that
there's no standard service definition for JMS/JCA applications. Typically
for service bindings, the information is going to be specific to each exposed
service so I would expect such sharing to be mainly but not exclusively
used for references. 

There's no functional reason why we require this mechanism. If we remove
it from the spec it doesn't reduce the capability of the bindings, it just
means that SCA runtimes would possibly need to provide their own way of
managing sharing of such information outside of the standard definitions.
Given that this is not a portability/interop requirement I'd say its not
that high a priority to be standardised. If we feel that the additional
complexity that this brings to the JMS and JCA bindings specs is not justified,
then I don't feel particularly strongly about removing it.
