Subject: Reference Model for Open Architecture for XML Authoring and Localization1.0


Greetings!

I was somewhat surprised to find that the draft is devoid of any usage 
of the control vocabulary defined in 1.5.

I realize that as a "reference" model that conformance may be difficult 
to specify but suggesting that "key" standards or concepts are to be 
followed by anyone claiming conformance seems rather weak.

True enough, the Conformance Guidelines: 
http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/TCHandbook/ConformanceGuidelines.html 
are only suggestive but greater detail in terms of conformance would 
make it easier for architects to meaningfully claim conformance to the 
reference model.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick

PS: As the co-author of a reference model I am not unsympathetic to the 
issue faced by the TC. I do think it is possible to specify enough 
detail to make a claim of conformance meaningful and to meet the 
requirements imposed by OASIS.

PPS: The commenter is a member of the OASIS Technical Advisory Board 
(TAB) ( I shamelessly stole that from Toby Considine.)
