Re: [regrep] Issues with extramural Association

[Matthew MacKenzie <matt@xmlglobal.com>]

Joel,

One thing to consider is that Farrukh's proposal suggests that 
yet-to-be-approved associations be visible, but there is still a means 
to determine whether both organizations have accepted the association.

The specification could merely specify that associations that are not 
yet approved must be represented as such in any user interface.  I'm 
not sure if this suggestion is kludgy or not, but I think it would be 
sufficient.

Cheers,

Matt
