ISSUE 15: External Attachment - AI 20080331-01

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

I took an AI to resolve a seemingly minor wording problem in the current
Policy ISSUE 15 proposal.

The paragraph in question is this:

      All components will have @uri attributes (not just domain-level
      components), which contain the URI of the component. The URI will
      contain path elements from all of the composites that the component
      is embedded under. This makes it possible to write XPath expressions
      that target a single buried component.

The sentence in question is trying to say the component URI is constructed
by concatenating the component URI of each component in the implementation
hierarchy.  So this leads me to:

      All components will have @uri attributes (not just domain-level
      components), which contain the URI of the component. The URI is
      constructed by recursively concatenating the component URI of each
      component in the implementation hierarchy above it. This makes it
      possible to write XPath expressions that target a single buried
      component.


On the call we discussed the need for a short phrase or word that means 'a
component that is implemented by a composite'.  Some suggestions have been
floated, none were good IMHO.  I'm side stepping that discussion with this
proposal. :-)

This complete my AI.
