I think that is right, at least in the sense that the AgreementFactory
messages would not come into play. I do think that an Agreement could
appear (or disappear) as a result of this external protocol, so that
introspection based on WS-Agreement could happen.  Whether this makes
sense or not would require a judgement call that is hard to make in
the abstract...
