Subject:	[sca-c-cpp-comment] Microsoft public review comments on SCA C/C++ implementation model specifications

---

This is Microsoft’s public comment about the following two specifications
under public review per announcement [1]: 
  
-   Service Component Architecture
Client and Implementation Model for C++ Specification Version 1.1
-   Service Component Architecture
Client and Implementation Model for C Specification Version 1.1
  
We have been attempting to review the above specifications, but have been
unable to complete our review due the following problems with the specifications
as published: 
  
1) The revised C and C++ specifications http://docs.oasis-open.org/opencsa/sca-c-cpp/sca-ccni-1.1-spec-cd04.pdf
and http://docs.oasis-open.org/opencsa/sca-c-cpp/sca-cppcni-1.1-spec-cd04.html
include markup to indicate changes but we could not find where the clean
versions are provided. There is enough markup in these documents to make
the document impossible to review in places. 
  
2) The RDDL document for http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200912
refers to at least two XML Schema documents that are not valid.  For
example the first XML schema listed (http://docs.oasis-open.org/opencsa/sca-assembly/sca-1.1-cd05.xsd)
apparently contains invalid whitespace, and the 5th item (http://docs.oasis-open.org/opencsa/sca-assembly/sca-policy-1.1-intents-definitions-cd03.xsd)returns
“HTTP 404 Not Found” error. 
  
3) The RDDL document for http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200912
refers to at least one XML Schema document that returns a 404. For example
the 5th XML Schema listed (http://docs.oasis-open.org/opencsa/sca-assembly/sca-policy-1.1-intents-definitions-cd03.xsd)
is not retrievable (404 error). 
  
4) But the biggest obstacle in our reviewing of the specifications is the
fact that the required C/C++ header files are missing from the specifications.
Without being able to review the C/C++ header files, it is impossible to
perform a complete and meaningful review of the specifications. 
  
Sincerely, 
Michael Champion,
