Hi Mike: I sent my earlier question before I read your blog entry.. I am interested in this para: So, the most part of the service contract's content is derived from the service description. However, since the service contract is a mutual agreement, consumers have an opportunity to negotiate their own requirements to be preserved by the service. These requirements appear in the form of consumer's policies, which may be included into the contract. For example, such policy may state that only certain type of information should be exchanged with the service via SSL while the service description offered 'clear' and encrypted communication channels but did not mention a capability to mix them on the content basis. My question is this: are you saying that the service provider has the ability to conform to this policy - that it is able to use content as the basis for detemining whether or not to encrypt? Thanks, Andrew Herbst
