Subject: RE: [regrep] Implementing CCTS in Registry - further thoughts
Were you a diplomat in a previous life? That sounds like an excellent compromise. Sally -----Original Message----- From: Matthew MacKenzie [mailto:matt@mac-kenzie.net] Sent: Monday, February 17, 2003 3:24 PM To: Dave Welsh Cc: Duane Nickull; Farrukh Najmi; Fuger, Sally; Chiusano Joseph; David RR Webber - XML ebusiness; OASIS Registry List Subject: Re: [regrep] Implementing CCTS in Registry - further thoughts I think I am a moderate in this debate, because I think the proper course of action involves acknowledging CCTS (or a serialization format therof) in the specification by including a non-normative appendix containing a content indexing stylesheet (which I will take an AI on). The benefit of doing this is that we do not compromise the architecture by doing it, and we get to explicitly mention CCTS in the specification which should make some people happy. I think Farrukh even has a CPPA content indexing stylesheet hanging around, so we would not be playing favorites.
