Has Peter's comment been discussed?
He advocates (I believe) that we should not include the
GetAttributesDocument operation. Instead, any particular BES should
choose (if they wish) to provide access to attributes via an appropriate
resource model-specific operations.
* A WS-Transfer-based BES would use GET
* A WSRF-based BES would use WS-ResourceProperties
* A resource-model-free BES might define a GetAttributesDocument
operation
* etc.
This seems a good proposal to me.

2) Why are we still essentially
advocating WS-Transfer's attribute model by having the
GetAttributesDocument operation? In my opinion it is not necessary for
minimal interop, and makes WS-Transfer's Get operation redundant. Is part
of the problem that we haven't defined any interop standards
yet?
