We went over 26 on the Conference call and decided to put "Not Accepted" on this item.

Subject: [ebxml-msg] Issue 26: Two issues with Manifest validation

Issue 26 contains two sub-issues:

• Removal of a note recommending an unreferenced payload be discarded as per prior discussion in the group and on the list.  I can remember Chris' email recommending we remove this note but don't recall the followup discussion or any agreement as David cites in his disagreement.  Could we have pointers into the archive for and against removing this note?
• Aligning Manifest and Signature validation with respect to allowing the content-location option in both.  Since we already recommend alignment between eb:Reference@xlink:href and ds:Reference@URI values, the lack of content-location description in section 3.2.2 is an apparent conflict.  Removing that conflict improves the clarity of the document and does not add additional features to our specification.  I recommend we make this change, regardless of the outcome of the first sub-issue.
