Title: The introduction section should state that the Guidelines document assumes a basic understanding of the Web Services Policy language. Description: The introduction to the Guidelines document states that 'This document assumes a basic understanding of XML 1.0, Namespaces in XML, WSDL 1.1 and SOAP' [1]. This document is for assertion authors. We should assume that assertion authors have a basic understanding of the Web Services Policy language. Justification: The introduction should be clear about what we expect from the target audience. Proposal: Replace 'This document assumes a basic understanding of XML 1.0, Namespaces in XML, WSDL 1.1 and SOAP' With 'This document assumes a basic understanding of XML 1.0, Namespaces in XML, WSDL 1.1, SOAP and the Web Services Policy language. Web Services Policy 1.5 - Primer provides an introductory description of the Web Services Policy language.'
