FYI: WS-ReliableMessaging & Plumbwork Orange vNext

Andrés has added his implementation of WS-ReliableMessaging to Plumbwork Orange. W00t! With this specification (now) supported and the WS-Eventing bits starting to (finally) feature a more reliable implementation, it can`t hurt to start looking at what lies ahead for this project. Currently, the Plumbwork Orange project provides support for the following specifications and custom transports:

• WS-Compression
• WS-Eventing
• WS-Federation (sort of)
• WS-ReliableMessaging
• SOAP over SMTP

The next specification I wish to tackle is WS-Policy. Specifically, I`d like to implement an object model for WS-Policy that can complement an implementation of WS-MetadataExchange. In my opinion, it`s unfortunate that the WSE doesn`t feature a publicly-accessible policy object model. Having one could allow WSE-based endpoints to process policy (dynamically) when received from a request message. By the way, looking for an implementation of WS-MetadataExchange Check out TexMex!
