Sorry, you seems to be dancing around the "optional" vs "mandatory" terms here. I lost a few hours to figure it out that was the root cause of a problem I ran into.
By my knowledge, we already had support for the allowsPassByReference optimization for the service side (the reference side came into the spec at later time) before the code was disabled. The feature (even it is optional for the spec compliance) is important to the use cases I have because we don't want to copy several MBs data. IMHO, Tuscany is not purely just a reference implementation of the SCA specs. Anyway, I'm enabling the optimization for both reference and service sides.
