Description Sergey Beryozkin 2007-02-21 09:59:58 UTC
Ignorable Expressions section refers to the interoperabilty term in 2nd sentence of the first paragraph. This is on-the-wire interoperability.
The section also implicitly refers to the possible impact such expressions can have on the WS-Policy level interoperability in the last sentence of the section. This last message should be highlighted by saying that the ignorableness is at the discretion of the policy consumer

Justification : the policy author should be well aware that by marking the assertion as wsp:ignorable does not guarantee this assertion be universally ignored.

Target : WS-Policy Primer, Section 2.7

Proposal : Update the last sentence : "Please note that the ignorableness is at the discretion of policy consumers therefore ignorable assertions may have an impact on determining compatibility of policies"
Also, optionally, consider updating the interop term in the first pararaph by qualifying it with "on-the-wire" or something similar
