Re: [cgmo-webcgm] Issue CL-c8: view context is deprecated

[Lofton Henderson <lofton@rockynet.com>]

Benoit,

Looking at your last paragraph (below) ... are you volunteering to talk 
directly to Chris about it?

Jumping off from that idea ... whether or not Benoit talks to Chris 
directly, should we invite Chris to join our telecon (probably in 2 weeks, 
since tomorrow might be a little short notice)?  There is this topic, and 
lots of others.

One small comment embedded...

Playing devil's advocate ... why bother?  Do we have a Requirement to align 
the specs where possible?  I mean ... they seem so fundamentally different!
