RE: [search-ws] reference implementation

Thank you Mary, but perhaps I mis-spoke and meant to say "conforming
implementation" which has a much different connotation. Is there a
requirement for that?  --Ray

There is no requirement for a reference implementation; and we discourage a
TC from creating/choosing one.

Standards are like parachutes: they work best when they're open.

since you mentioned it can you point us to the requirement?  We need to
understand how "rigorous" it needs to be, as it would be a signifcant burden
to implement the whole spec particularly before there is any guarantee that
it will be a standard.
