What does it mean to say that a Web Service indicates the use of WS-Enumeration? We found the following text in WS-Enumeration [1] to answer the question: “All data sources MUST support some operation that allows an enumeration to be started. A data source MAY support the Enumerate operation, or it may provide some other mechanism for starting an enumeration and receiving an enumeration context.” The quoted text is a bit vague though, particularly the phrase 'some operation'. We think that the quoted text could be clarified and made crisper. Here is a proposed replacement text: "Data sources MUST support the Enumerate operation to start an enumeration. A data source MAY provide other mechanisms for starting an enumeration and receiving an enumeration context."
