There are already alternatives.   The AuthenticationPolicy object can be 
created programatically and passed in via the message properties.   If the 
object is available on the message, it's used.   Likewise for all the 
SSLClientPolicy.

The JAX-WS frontend maps the standard JAX-WS USERNAME and PASSWORD 
properties onto the AuthenticationPolicy object.   However, they also have 
access to the Policy object itself if they want.  I'd greatly prefer to 
keep it that way.
