Subject: [regrep] Analysis for April 2002 Oasis ebRS and ebRIM V2 Vote
Analysis for April 2002 Oasis ebRS and ebRIM V2 Vote I offer the attached document which summarizes my analysis of the Oasis ebXML Registry TC V2 Specifications. While I welcome your comments, I ask that you read my complete arguments before you reply. These statements represent the position of Joel Munter. The problems identified and discussed during the 90-day review period and this subsequent 30-day vote period have not yet been fixed. The current Oasis process does not allow the Oasis ebXML Registry TC to create the required Errata in parallel with an ongoing specification review and approval. To vote "Yes" for these to become an established Oasis Standard is not prudent. The complete fixes for all of the issues identified have not yet been completely documented and approved by the TC. Some of the issues cited relate to normative behaviour that cannot be implemented without the required correction. Intel believes that the results of the Oasis Standards Process should be a specification or in this case a pair of specifications should be of extraordinary quality. The specifications should be nearly flawless. These specifications contain too many issues. I strongly recommend waiting until the identified fixes have been completely documented, incorporated within next revisions of the specifications, and they have been approved by the TC before reconsidering them to be cast as Oasis Standards. The specifications should be complemented with real implementations based against V2 of the specifications. While there were emails sent early in Dec 2001 discussing V2 implementations, it is obvious at the bottom of the page at https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/regrep/ that almost 5 months later there still are not a sufficient number of V2 based implementations. To vote "Yes" based on the issues listed herein and the complete list of issues documented at https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/regrep/documents/2.0/specs/ebXMLRegist ry-v2-spec-IssuesList.xls is simply wrong and would do an injustice to the Oasis Standard approval process.
