Spec draft 05

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

I think I've addressed all the issues that were assigned to me 
(including Martin's corrections to the examples and Jeff Bohren's 
comments during the most recent conference call).  If I've missed 
something or failed to address an issue satisfactorily, please let me 
know. 

I've attached spec draft 5 and the current list of open issues.
(I have, but have not attached, a complete list of spec issues addressed 
in this draft.  I'll send this list to anyone who wants one.)

draft_pstc_spmlv2.doc

1. Darran will send UML diagram(s) to replace ERD (in section 2.1).
20050215 - Darran Rolls has taken this action item (originally Gerry's).


2. What is the 'namespaceURI' value for an XPath expression? (throughout)
20050325 - Overlap?
20050329 - Still need to know this for examples.
20050331 - Sent email to PSTC: "What is the namespaceURI value for XPath?"


3. What is the 'namespaceURI' value for a SPML1.0 (DSMLv2) attribute expression?
20050325 - Overlap?
20050329 - Still may want to mention this as an example in the main spec.
20050331 - SPMLv2 DSML Profile doc should specify this.


4. Search on references.
		A requestor can query for Person instances based on “owner” 
      	only if the provider defines “owner” as an element or attribute of Person 
              in the schema for the target.  In such a case, what would the value of “owner” look like? 
              Would “owner=’joebob’ work?
20050329 - Discussed in con-call.  
           - Jeff said to say only what we do (not what we don't do).
           - Hal said to say we don't if people will assume that we do.
           - Compromise: ability to search on references is unspecified.
20050329 - Jeff Bohren suggested that maybe we *could* search on references.  I said I'd help.


5. Should Custom Capabilities point to a "registry" of custom capabilities.
20050222 - Darran suggested that the PSTC should maintain such a registry.


6. Update "Security and privacy considerations".
20050215 - Darran says that we should update this.  Wants a volunteer.
20050222 - Hal Lockhart volunteered to update this. Keep this in the spec.
20050329 - Hal thinks he can do this during this week.


7. Appendix I (throughout): Document references need validation and update.
20050329 - Raj volunteered during the con-call to do this.

8. Appendix L: Glossary.  Definitions need review and update.
20050222 - Point to a separate document for Glossary.
20050329 - Raj volunteered during the con-call to do this.
