Hi Brent,
The document Merri has created provides clarity to the
specification and does not alter it. As such, I agree with you that it
does not fit the OASIS definition of "substantive change." I
favor including it in the chapter on conformance levels as well.
Cheers,
-Jason

SDD TC,
In yesterday's
TC call, we discussed the eventual disposition of the document that Merri has
produced, and I believe that there was consensus to include it as part of the
specification (rather than a separate expository document) if the OASIS process
permits. I did some investigation, as I said I would. The OASIS process says
that if a "Substantive Change" is made to the specification after
Public Review (PR), then the specification must undergo a new PR (but only 2
weeks rather than 60 days).
The OASIS
process further defines:
"Substantive
Change" is a change to a specification that would require a compliant
application or implementation to be modified or rewritten in order to remain
compliant.
Because the
information that Merri has compiled is supplemental and clarifying about
Conformance Levels, rather than something that would change syntax or semantics
and thus require compliant implementations to change, it is my opinion that
this information would NOT be a Substantive Change if added to the
specification, and thus would not require an additional PR. I would prefer that
it be added to the Conformance chapter of the specification.
I am interested
in everyone's view here, and I will also put this on the agenda for next week's
call.
Thanks.
Regards,
Brent

Here's an initial rough draft of this
document. I'm not a technical writer
so any content updates are welcome. I just put in the basics,
obviously
this can use improvements!
-- Ms. Merri Jensen
The document named SDD Conformance Level Addendum
(sdd-conformance-level-addendum-v0.1.doc) has been submitted by Ms. Merri
Jensen to the OASIS Solution Deployment Descriptor (SDD) TC document
repository.
Document Description:
Description of technical differences between the CL1 schema and the CL2
schema. Expository document for v1.0, to be incorporated into the
specification in v1.1.
