Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (WSCALENDAR-308) PR02 What are youdefining? XCAL? WS-Calendar? Some combination?
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/WSCALENDAR-308?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=25529#action_25529 ]
Michael Douglass commented on WSCALENDAR-308:
---------------------------------------------
Toby states:
Vavailability suffers from the current approach. Long-standing and well known vcomponents exist as a bag of properties bag of parameters, and a bag of components. This creates great flexibility and allows compatibility with an immense installed base. Vavailability has no installed base. There is no compatibility reason why we cannot define it strictly here. And yet...
I think the situatiuon is the reverse of this-
A large installed (compatible) base means inertia is high - we're unlikely to see much change. The reverse is true of the new components and properties being discussed - this is where we need the max flexibility as they get used by different constituencies. Vavailability has enormous potential for scheduling applications - a somewhat different approach than power management.

> Project: OASIS Web Services Calendar (WS-Calendar) TC

> The document is confusing in several places as to what is being defined. The schemas define all of xcal, the document talks mostly of WS-Calendar (which is now structured as an extension to xcal).
> Line 368 demonstrates this with the "Use in WS-Calendar" contasting XCAL and WS-Calendar. Likewise Line 657 "Text" "Discussion" says "The use of text in WS-Calendar is not defined"
> So which is being specified? This relates to another issue, WSCALENDAR-305, which recommends a simple model (Platform Independent Model) that is compatible with the broader model.
> Table headings don't help. Table 3-1 headings are "element, use, use in WS-Calendar"
> But is the broader model xcal or ws-calendar? Or is ws-calendar a profile on xcal?
> This is a general description and discussion issue throughout the document.
