[ogsa-wg] Update to OGSA 1.5

[Andreas Savva]

Andrew, Dave,

I think this is a good idea. It sounds to me that this could end up 
being a refinement or addition to section 3.2 (OGSA Framework) and could 
help solve one issue I had with trying to tie that section better with 
the rest of the document. But I'd like to see a draft first before 
deciding where it might go.

My only concern about this at this point is, of course, the OGSA 1.5 
document schedule. So when can we have an initial draft?
