DSML schema.

[Gary P Cole <Gary.P.Cole@Sun.COM>]

Two subsections within Concepts mention DSML:
- 2.3.1 Schema
- 2.4 Profile

The first paragraph of 2.3.1 Schema currently reads as follows:

The schema for each target defines the XML structure of the objects 
(PSO) <#_Provisioning_Service_Object> that the target may contain. 
SPMLv2 does not specify a required format for the schema. For example, a 
target schema could be XML Schema or (a target schema could be) 
Directory Service Markup Language (DSML) as defined by the document 
“DSML Binding for SPMLv2”. Each target schema includes a schema 
namespace. The schema namespace tells any requestor that recognizes the 
schema namespace how to interpret the schema.


I have changed the first part of 2.4 Profile to read as follows:

SPMLv2 defines two “profiles” in which a requestor and provider may 
exchange SPML protocol:
- DSML 2.0 as defined in the document “DSML Binding for SPMLv2”.
- XML Schema

A requestor and a provider may exchange SPML protocol in any profile to 
which they agree.


1) How should I reword these sections?

2) How would you define the term "profile"? What does a profile 
determine beyond a schema to which a requestor and provider agree? How 
does this differ from a "binding"?

Thanks,

Gary
