Title: Update SP per Policy 1.5 guidelines

Protocol:  ws-sp

Artifact:  spec

Type: editorial

Description:

I’ve reviewed the Policy 1.5 guidelines doc and in general didn’t find much, see attached. The one thing we didn’t do was handle in prose what to do for wsp:Ignorable according to guidelines 9 (describe in prose) and 10 (describe in XML). In many instances we’ve handled the XML job already. The instances where it isn’t handled is where there is attribute extensibility, say for wsp:Optional, which would incorrectly permit the use of wsp:Ignorable. So we can pull SP into shape from the guidelines perspective by adding prose that it isn’t allowed. For RM that would be a specific statement for the only assertion that allows attribute extensibility, for SP it would be a global statement up front. My suggested text follows.

Proposal:

Add the following statement to the end of section 2.1

http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-sx/ws-securitypolicy/200702/ws-securitypolicy-1.2-spec-os.html

Assertions defined by this specification MUST NOT include the wsp:Ignorable attribute in its attributes with a value of true.
