RE: [ws-rx] Groups - Latest Editors WSRX Files (Latest WSRX.zip) uploaded

[Christopher B Ferris <chrisfer@us.ibm.com>]

WS-Policy 1.5 Framework and Attachment
specs are in Candidate Recommendation status
as of yesterday.

Is that "not far enough along in
the standards process"? Basically, there are two stages remaining.
PR and REC. The CR phase is the Call
for Implementations phase. The WG has identified exit
criteria of 4 interoperating implementations
of each of the features of the specs with the exclusion of
4 features that require only 2. As of
this week, we have 2 published endpoints that are interoperating
on the set of interop test scenarios
defined for the first 3 rounds of the interop scenarios. 

To me, that suggests that the specs
are far enough along in the standards process to be referenced.
The namespace is final (unless the specs
revert to Working Draft) in the CR.

When we went though the CR transition,
it was pretty clear that the changes made to the specs
since the Last Call were of a non-substantive
nature (e.g. no features added or removed). The most significant
change was to the namespace itself.

Must we go through another review period
just to change a reference from the LC draft to the CR? I certainly
hope not.

Cheers,
