RE: [provision] Proposal comparisons...

[Jeff Bohren <jbohren@opennetwork.com>]

Gerry,
 
This does not address my concerns at all. All you have done is put in the schema the approach that I have already shown to be unreliable. 
 
If you want to address my concerns, tell me how your proposed solution would solve the following situation:
 
Start with the initial data:
 
<A>

            <B>

                        <C>foo1</C>

                        <C>foo2</C>

                        <C>foo3</C>

            </B>

            <B>

                        <C>foo1</C>

                        <C>foo5</C>

                        <C>foo2</C>

            <B>

</A>



RA1 and RA2 read the data. RA2 changes the 2nd C in the first B to bar1. Now the data looks like:


<A>

            <B>

                        <C>foo1</C>

                        <C>bar1</C>

                        <C>foo3</C>

            </B>

            <B>

                        <C>foo1</C>

                        <C>foo5</C>

                        <C>foo2</C>

            <B>

</A>

Now RA1 wants to delete the first B. How does RA1 delete the first B, where B was defined by foo1, foo2, foo3; but is now foo1, bar1, foo3?

	To address your concerns about modifcations, I've worked up yet another
	package.  This does not include a revised scenario but just a revised
	schema to include the ability to specify modifications with a level of
	detail comparable to the current SPML proposal.  The revised schema uses
	XPath to identify the items to be modified, as we have been discussing.

	I am still not satisfied that we understand enough about how the GW
	proposal would implement modifications in order to make a proper decisions.
	But I understand we need to close this one way or the other on Monday, so
	attached is my summary of how the two approaches compare.
	
	I will be out of the office on Fri, and will be unable to discuss these
	issues further until Mon.
