My WSE 3.0 client wants to send a message to a WSE 2.0 server. Will
WS-Adressing and WS-Security be wire compatible between the two?

And as the answer may be no, particularly for WS-Secrutiy, is there a subset

Hi Niels,
The answer is no for WS-Addressing.
Regarding to WS-Security, WSE 2.0 uses the version 1.0 whereas WSE 3.0 uses
the versions 1.0 plus some extensions from the version 1.1 (Signature
confirmations, derived keys).
In that case, you should only use features from WS-Security 1.0.
