RE: [oic] Confused about the purpose of the Interop Profile

[Cherie Ekholm <cheriee@exchange.microsoft.com>]

The intent of the current document as it was explained, was to clarify 1.1, which is the superset of all ODF 1.1. 

Your suggestion was to " focus on the specific horizontal domain of desktop personal productivity applications for this profile". 

That would seem to mean that some modifications will need to be made to the existing profile so that it targets only your DPPA horizontal suggestion rather than all of ODF 1.1 as it currently does. 

Otherwise we are back to the original issue that the profile is neither a horizontal nor a vertical, but is instead a whole new conformance class of ODF 1.1 and should be referred to the ODF TC.

I'm not sure I understand.  Are you still confused about the purpose of 
the profile?  Or do you know understand the intent, but are opposed to 
that intent?  Or opposed to the name of the specification?  Or something 
else?
