Re: [wsbpel] Issue 88 - Proposal to vote

Hi Alex, in my opinion, the spec text

   The importType attribute identifies the type of document being imported
   by providing the URI of the encoding language. The value MUST be set to
   "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; when importing XML Schema 1.0
   documents, and to "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"; when importing WSDL
   1.1 documents.

is already precise. It has a general statement for all document types, and
provides details for two well-known specific document types.

Kind Regards
DK

HI DK,

Thanks for following this up.
Do we want to add an explicit pargraph to the resolution of Issue 88 to
point that out? e.g.:

     Other URI values can be used with importType attribute value to import
     artifacts and documents other than XSD 1.0 and WSDL 1.1. Details of
     those import semantics are outside the scope of this specification.

Alex Yiu
