Spec variable format convention

The question has come up how “spec variables” (not the same as “XDI variables”) should be written.

Example of old approach:

<--from-peer-->/$set/<--from-->[$msg]<--msg-id-->

Example of proposed new approach:

%FROM-PEER/$set/%FROM[$msg]%MSG-ID

We discussed the two approaches for “spec variables” during the call. The general consensus seemed to be to not make any change and keep the old approach.

Notation shift

Continue to discuss the notation shift, see minutes from last week:

https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xdi/201406/msg00034.html

We briefly discussed the notation shift during the call and looked at a few example statement before and after the shift.

XDI signatures

Continue to discuss Peter’s updated XDI signature proposal:

We did not have time to discuss this topic.
