Only the following rules are present at the moment in the chapter 22.3.3:<br />
<br />
The value part of the reply operation consists of a signature reference with an associated actual parameter list and (optional) return value.<br />
<br />
A return value or template shall be explicitly stated with the value keyword and is first evaluated before returning.<br />
<br />
If a value is to be returned to the calling party, this shall be explicitly stated using the value keyword. The TemplateBody in the value clause shall conform to the template(value) restriction.<br />
<br />
So what is missing or not sufficiently explained:<br />
1. The rules shall more precisely describe the relation between the signature template (which defines the signature reference and signature parameters) and the optional return value template (which is a separate entity). The first cited rule doesn't connect these two entities very well, even though this relation is esential for type checks of the return value.<br />
2. It should be clearly said that optionality of the return value is related to the signature definition. If the signature defines a return value, the value clause shall be present in the reply operation. If the signature doesn't define a return value, the value clause shall be missing.<br />
