Ron, I don't see that inconsistency, we went through these usecases for embedded, and there are cases where you want to be able to put a usage attribute on a token and include that in-line as you need a way to then reference that in that usage context.

I agree that there is an inconsistency if one uses an embedded STR
as a means of referencing tokens and key material that can't be
referenced otherwise. I think wss could do without embedded STRs.
