2.13.3

[Keisuke Fukui <kfukui@labs.fujitsu.com>]

Folks,

I'd like to hear which of the below people think most appropriate.
The survey was performed against the (draft v06) below, which
didn't reflect the discussion on the reflector.

My proposal is the first one, which is more lengthy than original.
I believe that it doesn't dirt what is required by this requirement.
The question is that is it more than what is needed or not.

Folks,

My apologies that I was hasting to have posted replies before
the last one. I have added my comments to John's compilation.

2.13
(*My proposal*) The SDD specification must support defining localization content within or outside of its descriptor for multiple locales.
(Christine's/Minutes of May 8) The SDD specification must support defining localization content for multiple locales.
2.13.1 * Deleted *
2.13.2 The SDD specification must not preclude the Install Operator from viewing or installing the localized content in a different locale from the target platform or in a different locale from tied one.
2.13.3 (or 2.13.x)
(*My proposal*) The SDD specification must support defining default, fallback or constraints on selection of the localized content that may be installed, based on the locale of the host environment.
(Combined suggestions from John, Julia and Rob) The SDD specification must support defining a default or fallback locale to be used in hosting environments where localized content is unavailable or has not been defined for the hosting environment's locale.
(John/Christine 2.13.x) The SDD specification must support containing localized text.
(CA's 2.13.x) The SDD specification must support defining localization constraints based on the locale of the host environment and the available localized content.
(draft v06) The SDD specification must support the definition of the localized content which should run properly on all locale-specific versions of supported operating systems.

I believe we are reaching more pruned, essential requirements set.
My proposal here at this moment are rewrites for 2.13 and 2.13.3.


As a further option for the numbering and ordering or requirements,
I propose to move 2.13 above numbered as 2.13.1 since it seems to me
that we don't have requirement in the first paragraph in each section.
I also propose switch 2.13.2 and 2.13.3 since this makes them ordered
from essential to detailed.
