Gift horse in the mouth - Microsoft's Open Specification Promise

First of all, let me thank folks at MSFT for their gift, namely the Open Specification Promise. One thing that jumped out at me when looking at the list of "Covered Specification" was that WS-Security : SAML Token Profile was missing though a Microsoft person is the co-editor and Microsoft is very active in the OASIS WSS TC. So i went looking for other specs that we work on here at Apache, specifically the ones in which MSFT has had a role and found 2 more WS-PolicyAssertions and BPEL4WS.

So, Dear MSFT folks, Did these 3 get dropped my mistake or by design? Thanks.
