[ogsa-wg] BES query

[Andrew Grimshaw]

Tom,
As written in the current DRAFT - a WS-Name is an EPR that MUST contain an
AbstractName and MAY contain a ResolverEPR.

We do not have a "name" at this point for an EPR that has a ResolverEPR
only.

So just to get some nomenclature correct.  By WS-Names we mean an EPR 
that is profiled to
contain both a ResolverEPR and an AbstractName.  So what do we call an 
EPR which just
contains a ResolverEPR?
