All,
A new folder called "CD08"
has been created in the TC's document section [1]. In there you'll
find 3 pdf files that shows the latest version of the specs with the WS-Policy
namespace URI fixed:
WS-RM: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ws-rx/download.php/22965/wsrm-1.1-spec-cd-07.pdf
WS-RMP: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ws-rx/download.php/22966/wsrmp-1.1-spec-cd-08.pdf
WS-MC: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ws-rx/download.php/22967/wsmc-1.0-spec-cd-04.pdf
and there's also a zip file:
ZIP: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ws-rx/download.php/22964/WSRX%20CD8.zip
that contains everything, including
2 *-diff.pdf files showing what was changed from the old CD (for just MC
and RMP - RM did not change). The only changes you should see in there
are:
1 - increase in the CD version # (on
title page and footers)
2 - update to the "previous version"
names/URL - needed since we bumped up the CD version #
3 - fix to the WS-Policy namespace URI
I encourage everyone to look these over
to ensure that not only is the URI correct but also that no other unintended
changes were made.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Odds are the issue of pointing to the
CR version of WS-Policy will come up on today's conf call, so to see if
we can move things along there's also a new "CD08.1" folder.
In there, again, you'll find 3 pdf files:
WS-RM: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ws-rx/download.php/22969/wsrm-1.1-spec-cd-07.pdf
WS-RMP: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ws-rx/download.php/22970/wsrmp-1.1-spec-cd-08.pdf
WS-MC: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ws-rx/download.php/22971/wsmc-1.0-spec-cd-04.pdf
and a zip file:
ZIP: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ws-rx/download.php/22968/WSRX%20CD8.1.zip
The files in this folder contain all
of the changes mentioned above. However, WS-RMP and WS-MC also contain
the following additional changes (which you'll see in the *-diff pdfs):
1 - removed "wsp" from the
WS-RMP namespace table (not change needed for WS-MC)
2 - added the following sentence to
the "Namespace" section of WS-RMP and WS-MC:
The assertions defined within this specification
have been designed to work independently of a specific version of WS-Policy
and WS-Policy Attachment. Within this specification the use of the namespace
prefix "wsp" refers generically to the WS-Policy namespace, not
a specific version.
3 - In WS-RMP, moved the references
for WS-Policy and WS-PolicyAttachments to be non-normative (no change needed
for WS-MC)
Note that the WS-Policy/Attachments
references themselves still point to the CR versions of the specs.
It seems we need to balance our desire
to reference the latest version of WS-Policy with our immediate need to
also be able to support existing customers. Maybe the above set of changes
could allow both camps to squint a little and be able to move on. With
these changes our specs clearly push people towards the CR version of WS-Policy
but still acknowledges that these assertions we're defining are really
independent of any version of WS-Policy. Note that none of the
schema files actually reference WS-Policy at all. So, given that
all of these WS-* specs are supposed to be composible, it seems reasonable
to create our assertions (and specs) in such a way that they not only work
with the CR version but with any subsequence versions of WS-Policy that
the W3C may create. If the WS-Policy WG were to rev the WS-Policy specs
it would be a shame to have to update WS-RMP and WS-MC just to update our
WS-Policy namespaces/references. (Of course, if WS-Policy were to
change in such a way that our assertions themselves needed to be changed
to fit into some new framework then we'd have to reopen our specs.)
Anyway, please look over this proposal and see what you think....
