new RI document

[Guy Rixon]

A suggestion: make the GetIdentity method an _exact_ implementation of VOSI
getRegistration (i.e. use same WSDL). That way you don't need to implement it
twice. Make the additional constraint that the method has to be on the same
endpoint as the rest of RI; VOSI itself doesn't make this constraint but you
can. Later add a capability block for getRegistration when that becomes
possible.

Cheers,
Guy
