How do you reconcile that with the fact that the WSRM TC produced a spec
called WS-Reliability?
I, for one, prefer that the name of the spec not be changed as that will,
IMO, keep the confusion
to a minimum. Adding yet another spec name to the mix will only serve to
increase confusion, not decrease it
as Marc points out.
