proposal for ebbpsig:NonRepudiationInformation

["Durand, Jacques R." <JDurand@us.fujitsu.com>]

Following-up on the level of requirement for the ebbpsig:NonRepudiationInformation element:

 

- 5.2.3.3: As Pete suggested, the core specification could be made more open to future profiling by stating SHOULD in place of MUST, for the presence of ebbpsig:NonRepudiationInformation - also lessening dependency on ebbp schema.

- the Gateway conformance profile will then narrow this further (MUST) by requiring it. (NOTE: the gateway profile is already relied upon to resolve options much more critical for interoperability, e.g. in reliability area).

 

This way, developers have a clear guidance as long as the "Gateway One"  conformance profile is the interoperability baseline, while the specification remains open for future evolution of practices (meaning for new conformance profiles).
