Simon,
You may want to look into the Global XML Web Services Architecture
(GXA), whose specifications are written by Microsoft, IBM, Verisign,
SAP, RSA, and BEA Systems. This includes WS-Security, along with
approximately 13 other specifications (plus some yet-to-be-released).
The attached PPT is a presentation on GXA that I am going to give to a
Federal audience in the coming months (it's already been posted
publicly) - not many pictures but hopefully the concepts will be
valuable.
