  • A single d:Types child element MUST be present and include the type "msbits:PeerServer".

  • A single d:Scopes child element MUST be present and contain at least one scope.<23>

A client or server MUST support the "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/04/discovery/rfc2396" matching rule and MAY support other rules.
