Why is SilverLight 2 only support WCF BasichTTP binding?

I am confused…If there is no proper support for WCF binding, how does MS release two versions of Silverlight? Should they at least not support wsHTTP binding? Can the service have appropriate message-level security? (I.e. certificate, etc…)

Using basicHTTP binding, it seems that there are only two options for protecting the service…

> HTTPS (but not including authentication)
>Custom implementation of WS-Security on top of basicHTTP binding

Am I missing something?

I think BasicHttpBinding is the only binding that Partial Trust (APTCA) has not yet enabled.
