Simon,

You did this really quickly and I'm
impressed!  It looks pretty good.

A couple of comments inline below...

Proposed resolution to BINDINGS-147,
"Conformance Statement missing for the Web Services Binding Assertions"

Please review and comment on these changes, I'd like at least some feedback
on this one before I got ahead and do the web services proposal.

Summary: 

Include test assertions content in an appendix of the test cases document;
remove normative reference to TA document, update descriptive text to reference
the new appendix. 

Detail: 

Here's a modified version of the JMS test cases document with the proposed
changes: 





Comments: 

The resulting document has a section 3, "Cross Mapping of Test Assertions
to TestCases", but then the mapping from test assertions to normative
statements is in an appendix A.6 "Cross Mapping of Conformance Statements
to Test Assertions", which seems inconsistent to me, I would have
expected all cross-mappings to be in appendices. Also really I think that
appendix title should be "Cross Mapping of Normative Statements to
Test Assertions", they are not conformance statements.


<mje>
Agreed.  We can move
Section 3 into Appendix A and move the Appendix A into Appendix B ?
</mje>

The testCases section has a subsection "Section 3" which I assume
refers to the SCA JMS Binding Specification Section 3....   in which
case the Test Cases section 2 should have additional subsections relating
to the SCA JMS Binding Specification Section 4, 5 and 6, as the TA Appendix
does. 
<mje>
Yes, agreed - this subsection
arrangement is what we have in other testcase documents
</mje>

At the risk of begging extra work, it seems like all these cross mapping
sections should have the mapped elements be cross-referenced in the document
to enable navigation... 
<mje>
Ahem  --- that is
a *lot* of extra work you're asking for.  Don't go there unless you've
got a spare weekend coming up...
</mje>
