In an email I sent as a reply to Mark Potts, and which didn't make it to the list, I said that the specification is *not* a user manual. It should never be aimed as such. I would not want people to learn about transactions or how to use the OTS from the OMGs OTS specification. It's simply too much hard work. People need to be able to differentiate between a specification and an end-user manual. > We view such an API as outside the scope of this OASIS BTP TC, as > currently constituted, and not really the type of thing OASIS > specializes in anyway, I suspect.
