[wsrp] Re: [wsrp-comment] Comment on Today's Joint Interfaces WorkingTelecon

The glossary type definition I jotted down as this conversation neared
consensus was:

Session: A Producer managed data storage mechanism whose scope is defined
by a Consumer. Common scopes include an End-User, a user group or an
arbitrary Consumer defined scope.

Hope this is close to what others heard as well.

Thanks, Mike,

I wanted to be sure of this since we are scheduled to work on the
glossary tomorrow, and I would like to capture at least as much as we
managed to reach consensus on.
