Subject: [ebxml-msg] Issue 15: Use of the word OPTIONAL
David has disagreed with Chris' statement that OPTIONAL is misused (according to 2119) in a number of contexts. The basic issue here is a conflict between something that may or may not appear in an instance of an ebXML message and something that must or may be implemented by a compliant ebMS system. In the specified uses of the word OPTIONAL, the first is meant but our document conventions (section 1.1.1) restricts us to using OPTIONAL only when the second is intended. I would strongly recommend making the change Chris suggested. thanx, doug
