Steve, I'll jump in here for Steve. There are a couple of things to consider. The GT4 distro is using the March submission specifications for WSRF and WSN. These documents are available from http://www.oasis-open.org in the documents section (labeled march). Those submission documents reference an older version of WS-addressing (Only place I could find that online was at BEA http://dev2dev.bea.com/technologies/webservices/ws-addressing.jsp). On a related note the OGSA Basic Profile 1.0 is currently in progress and currently references the November 2004 specification from WSRF and the August submission of WS-Addressing. The BP work has a way to go...

As far as I can tell, this decision has basically no effect on WSRF. The argument being made by some in the WS-A working group is that it is equivalent and more true to the Web to carry a resource identifier as part of the EPR address, rather than in a separate ResourceProperties field -- that is, the resource reference should all be in the URI, rather than split between a URI and separate resource properties. Implementation-wise it certainly makes very little difference. And the WSRF working group had already abstracted the WS-Resource reference and access pattern, so that it is not tightly coupled to WS-A and reference properties anyway, so WSRF specification-wise it makes no difference.

Imagine I was behind schedule writing the WSDL for something based on WSRF. Which versions of various specifications should I be using now that are approximately in sync? Clearly I should not be specific as to how state is represented in an endpointer, or other details that are highly unstable. But what versions of the WSA/WSDL/WSRF specs should be I be using, and where do they live? -steve
