Lofton,

It doesn't change my position.

Subject: [cgmo-webcgm] ISPs once again

WebCGM TC --

Here is an interesting wrinkle that I didn't think about when we were
discussing withdrawal of the four ISPs.  One of the ISPs is in fact the
Model Profile:

DISP 12071-3 Basic Presentation and Visualisation (Model Profile)

Does that change our recommendation?

After some consideration, I can't actually think of any reason why it
should.  The implication of 12071-3 is that the MP, as it stands, is a
profile for Basic Presentation and Visualization.  But AFAIK, no
application sector has actually adopted it for such use in some
real-world application environment.

And it is embedded in ISO 8632 as the template upon which to define
other profiles, which (IMO) is its proper function.  And appropriate
status/stature in ISO.

Thoughts?

Regards,
-Lofton.
