Section 6.1 of WS-MEX says ... "... The metadata associated with a service endpoint may be available as multiple metadata resources. As a result, the metadata returned by the Get request to a metadata resource's endpoint may be limited to a particular metadata type (@Dialect) and identifier (@Identifier). The representation of a metadata resource MAY be a mex:Metadata element or any other document format (e.g. [XML Schema: Structures], [XML Schema: Datatypes], [WSDL 1.1], [WS-Policy]) for which a mex:MetadataSection/@Dialect has been defined." I don't understand what this says. Why don't we say, instead "A WS-Transfer GET on a EPR returns the metadata element (child) of the EPR?"

Accepted as proposed in comment #3 amended through the deletio of the following sentence: "The representation of a metadata resource MAY also be any other document format (e.g. [XML Schema: Structures], [XML Schema: Datatypes], [WSDL 1.1], [WS-Policy]) for which a dialect value is defined."
