[NEW ISSUE] Remove Normative Statements which are Optional or which relateto Optional capabilities

[Mike Edwards <mike_edwards@uk.ibm.com>]

Target:        
       sca-policy-1.1-spec-cd04.doc

Description:        

The SCA Policy specification contains
a small number of normative statements that are either themselves optional,
or which
relate to optional functionality.

These statements give a problem both
with regard to testing and to the exit criteria for the specification.

The statements involved are as follows:

Optional statements:

POL40031
POL40033

POL80001
POL80002

Statements relating to optional function
(in all cases, the function is redeployment, which is not a required capability
for an SCA runtime)

POL40029
POL40030
POL40032


Proposal:

Remove the optional parts of POL80001
& POL80003

Downgrade all of the remaining listed
statements to non-normative advisory text.

The implementation of these proposals
is shown in wd041 of the Policy spec here:
