Camille,

 

Thanks for highlighting this – I can see the ambiguity.

 

·         REFERENCES Note 3) states: In the case of an <info> element that does not include an <expires> time, all further messages in the chain SHOULD include a reference to that message since it does not expire on its own.

 

·         INFO Note 5) state: In the case of an <info> element that does not have an <expires> time, all further messages in the chain should include a reference to the message containing the <info> element, since it does not expire on its own.

 

Could the <info> block be EXCLUDED from a CAP-AU message?  Yes, as it's USE is specified as Optional

 

Can an <info> element exist WITHOUT an <expires> sub-element?  Answer is technically NO because we now state in the Section 2.2 INFO element header that: Any <info> sub-elements whose use is specified as REQUIRED, are only mandatory inclusions when the <info> element is to be included in a CAP-AU message.

 

This means that <expires> is REQUIRED whenever the <INFO> block is included in a CAP-AU message.

 

So an <info> element should not exist without inclusion of <expires>.

 

Therefore, I now believe that Notes 3 and 5 are invalid, and should be removed.

 

Any observations from anyone?

 

 

Regards,

Greg Trott

CAP-AU Project Manager

Pg 13 References element note 3 calls out the case where an <info> element does not include an expires time. Is this consistent with decision to make <expires> element required when there is an <info> element? Same comment on pg 16 Info element note 5.
