WS-MEX makes no assertions about the scope, applicability or semantics of the metadata it transfers. Any correlation between the returned metadata and the resource(s) and/or service(s) exposed by the endpoint must be performed by the requester using information out of band to the WS-MEX exchange. The above needs to be clarified in normative text within WS-MEX. 26272 1 bob 2009-08-06 17:46:51 +0000 replace: When the metadata for an endpoint is not available or is unknown and there is no information on how to retrieve it (e.g. an endpoint reference to a [WS-Transfer] resource representing the metadata), a requester MAY send a Get Metadata request message to that endpoint to retrieve its metadata. with: A requester MAY send a GetMetadata request message to an endpoint to retrieve the metadata associated with that endpoint. 26273 2 bob 2009-08-06 17:47:28 +0000 resolved with comment #1
