I am confused by this - according to the WS-Addressing working
group ReferenceParameters are designed to support stateful
interactions (similar to the use of cookies with HTTP) -
not to identify resources. They CAN be used to identify resources
but this is not best practice according to the working group.

see http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/addr/wd-issues/#i001
and http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-addressing/2004Dec/0051

thanks
