Re: [provision] Questions...

[jbohren@opennetwork.com (Jeff Bohren)]

SPML would be acceptable depending on how we define a "service". If
"Service" can be defined to include all the things in the scope of the PSTC,
then "Service Provisioning ML" would be good choice. Of course we have not
agreed what is in the scope yet, so it is hard to say.
