That was my intention. I'm not expecting a chapter how to wrap legacy
applications within the specification. As I understand the word "enable", it
means something like "allow" respectively "not to preclude". But I'm not a
native speaker:-)

Do we really expect the specification to do anything to enable this
wrapping of legacy applications? I think the intent to to not preclude
developers from interacting with any back end system they want to.

Whats about:
The specification MUST enable Producers to provide existing legacy
applications and infrastructure as WSIA compliant Web Service.

Is there a reason this shouldn't be a "must", i.e.:
The specification MUST not preclude Producers from providing the
capability to support legacy applications and infrastructure.
As long as the protocol between Consumer and Producer is WSIA, it shouldn't
matter what else the producer is doing on the backend.
