Re: [ws-tx] RE: Issue 118 - Add Conformance section to WS-Coordination, WS-ATand WS-BA specifications

[Ian Robinson <ian_robinson@uk.ibm.com>]

My comments on the proposed new section:

• "the XML namespace identifier for this specification (listed in section 1.4)" might be better as "the declared XML Namespace for this specification" since this is part of the front page material for each spec.
• The position of the new sections in each TX spec should be between "Protocol Elements" and the References section.

Hi Martin,
 
Do you see any modifications
to the conformance text proposed below in the case of WS-Coordination,
WS-AT and WS-BA?
 
Thank you.

Subject: [ws-tx] Issue 118 - Add Conformance section to WS-Coordination,
WS-AT and WS-BA specifications
 
This issue was raised by Martin Chapman
(Oracle) during the March 06, 2008 TX TC call.
 
Description:
 
The WS-Coordination, WS-AT and WS-BA
specifications currently do not have a conformance section.
 
For example, RX specifications use
the following conformance text:
 
“1.5 Conformance
An implementation is not conformant
with this specification if it fails to satisfy one or more of the MUST
or REQUIRED level requirements defined herein. A SOAP Node MUST NOT use
the XML namespace identifier for this specification (listed in section
1.4) within SOAP Envelopes unless it is conformant with this specification.
Normative text within this specification
takes precedence over normative outlines, which in turn take precedence
over the XML Schema [XML Schema Part 1, Part 2] descriptions.”
 
A similar conformance section should
be added to the TX specifications.
