http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8295

           Summary: Dialect IRI's versus "selector IRI's
           Product: WS-Resource Access
           Version: PR
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: MetadataExchange
        AssignedTo: public-ws-resource-access-notifications@w3.org
        ReportedBy: gilbert.pilz@oracle.com
         QAContact: public-ws-resource-access-notifications@w3.org


The "http://www.w3.org/2009/09/ws-mex/Dialects/ws-mex-all" Dialect IRI will
never appear as the value of @Identifier in a mex:MetadataSection. It is
essentially a "selector IRI" that is only used in mex:GetMedata queries. The
fact that this IRI is lumped in with the normal Dialect IRI's is the source of
some confusion.

General Propsal 1: Define "Selector IRI's" as entities that are different from
Dilalect URI's and describe their use more accurately.

General Proposal 2: Eliminate the need for a special Selector IRI by defining
the mex:GetMetadata without a @Dialect value to mean "retrieve all metadata".
