Thanks for looking, Drew. The sa-ws-charter discussion is clearly much
more interesting than the sws-ig-charter discussion. Actually, I was
confused about this - I thought the idea was for the sws-ig to morph
into a much more active activity, which would be focused on gathering
and studying real-world use cases. There is a draft proposal for such
an activity here:
   http://www.w3.org/2005/10/sws-charac-charter.html
but it's on the back burner. That is, it's not part of the WS Activity
renewal proposal, and so not being discussed much at this time.

Regarding the sa-ws-charter, if anyone is thinking about those issues
(like whether it's worthwhile to standardize on some new WSDL
annotations for referring to (externally defined) semantics), your
thoughts on that would certainly be of interest to me. Of course, you
can have greater impact by expressing them on the public list if you
feel like it.

David
