In terms of notification and event management I'd say: yes,
that is compatible to WS-Notification, WS-Eventing and
WS-Relaibility.  I don't think though that all reliability
and ordering modes can be supported with those (have to
recheck, in respect to the latest discussion and changes).

I do not think though that the API would be implemented with
these, as it focuses on large messages (think megabyte or
more) of binary data.  I think thats not the target usage
scenario for the WS-protocols.  Or am I missing something?

I must admit I don't know a thing about
WS-ReliabaleMessaging, really - will check as soon as I am
back online.  I suspect though that the same answer holds.
(I don't know much about the other three too, really, so
will re-check them, too ;-)

Thanks for the hint!

Cheers, Andre.
