Re: [sca-assembly] [ISSUE 117] Definition of compatible superset and subset- Updated Proposal

[David Booz <booz@us.ibm.com>]

Some comments based on a search of the proposal document for the word compatible:

line 1259: I think this is ok as it is.

line 1757, 1767: I think these should say compatible superset

line 1885: This is a bit awkward because ASM60022 uses the new "compatible interface" term and then re-defines the term in ASM60023. It might be more clear to rework ASM60022 to use the term compatible superset, then we could get rid of ASM60022.

line 2603: seems ok as it is

line 2607 and 2614: should be compatible superset as per ASM50004 on line 741.

line 2618 needs to be updated to point to section 7.2.

line 2504: Is there a reason why #5 is not combined with #3 on line 2499?

---------------
As as aside, line 1035 talks about property type compatibility, which might need some work? If you agree, I'll open a new issue.

Subject:	[sca-assembly] [ISSUE 117] Definition of compatible superset and subset - Updated Proposal

---

Folks, 

Here is an updated proposal in the form of a change marked version built from CD03. 

This proposal creates formal definitions of Compatible interfaces, Compatible superset interface 
and Compatible subset interfaces.  It then adjusts relevant parts of the specification to use those 
terms. 

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/sca-assembly/download.php/31875/sca-assembly-1.1-spec-cd03%20Issue117.pdf 
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/sca-assembly/download.php/31874/sca-assembly-1.1-spec-cd03%20Issue117.doc 

I note that this proposal also resolves Issue 116 since it defines how interfaces are compared. 


Yours,  Mike.
