Latest 015 CAM specification draft

["David RR Webber" <david@drrw.info>]

Team,

 

I just uploaded for review the revised 015 copy.

 

The goal with this edition is to get the syntax and

specification as close as possible to the CAM

processor implementation that Martin has done.

 

In the ZIP file you will find two files - one with

changes highlighted, and the other without.

 

Summarizing the changes:

 

1) Minor tweaks to functions and XSD structure to

    conform to the CAM implementation.

 

2) Updates to certain features - such as addition of

    conditionID to conditionals in Data Validation to

    allow future expansion of CAM processor

    implementation in a way that is in-line with

    the processor architecture.

 

3) Many corrections and tidy-up of English use and

    removal of redundant text.  Clarifications of

    behaviour of features.

 

4) Replace XSD document with latest version.  Ditto

    the DTD structure - re-assign XSD as the normative

    structure; DTD relegated to informational only role.

 

5) Completion of the merge content feature to support

    the UPU postal addresses use case.

 

The next objective is to have a final copy ready to go

to official release as a V1.0 candidate for vote.

 

Please spend the next two weeks reviewing the

documents and providing last minute fixes and

corrrections so we can edit those in.   We can

never probably achieve 100% prefection here - but

I believe we have this close to 98% at the moment

in terms of discrepancies and errata.

 

My aim is to re-publish then on or about the 18th February,

and then move to a formal vote on acceptance of the V1.0

specification as is at that point.

 

Once again my thanks to Martin for his work and for

providing both the implementation and feedback on

all aspects of the technical details.

 

Thanks, DW.
