Sorry for the delay on getting back, we have been really busy at the winery
for the last couple of weeks.

We have a choice between using our own name and referencing the type or
reusing the same name and type from the WS Trust specification.  Which is
chosen is going to be just a question of style and a question of what that
referenced specification looks as being a top level element.

However in this case, there are differences between what is specified in
this document and what is specified for wst:RequestedSecurityToken,
specifically the addition of the tokenType parameter.  We could
alternatively defined this as 

<eps:WSToken>
  <wst:RequestedSecurityToken/>
  <wst:TokenType>
</eps:WSToken>

I would not object to doing the change to the latter structure, but it is
not a direct mapping currently.

Jim
