Re: [amqp] Non-normative Refs: Filters

[Gordon Sim <gsim@redhat.com>]

I think we want a simple way for implementers and communities to 
experiment with particular extensions prior to any standardisation 
effort by OASIS. Filtering is an obvious area for this sort of thing and 
there are others.

That's not to say a formal standard is not a good thing. It is simply 
that we want to allow emergence of 'grass-roots' interoperable 
extensions before getting a full standard out.

My suggestion would be to use symbolic descriptors either in a domain 
assigned to experimental work or conforming to a particular pattern 
(e.g. prefixed by 'x-').

These would not be official OASIS standards at this point but would 
allow collaborative efforts externally to be useful to users and to 
prove out different approaches which would be valuable feedback into any 
standardisation effort.
