Please forgive the possibly naive question below - I haven't been 
closely following the progress of the WS-RF specs...

The W3C have proposed, and resolved, to "Remove Reference Properties 
from the [WS-Addressing] specification, and remove all references to 
the use of EPRs as identifiers".  See:

     http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/addr/wd-issues/#i001

Does that mean that point a) should read "URIs as names for things"?  
Or are the EPRs mentioned here not related to WS-Addressing?

I'd be grateful for any clarification.

Thanks,

Jon MacLaren.
