Subject: RE: [security-services] Additional suggestions for naming changes
I think the rationale should be that we abbreviate only "long" terms that have a fairly well-known abbreviation. In the case of authentication and authorization, that would apply as they are 14 and 13 chars respectively and Authn and Authz are common shortcuts. I'd prefer to not shorten "short" terms (e.g. Service). I wonder if a cutoff should be anything, say, 10 chars or more. > > Reference -> Ref yes [Rob] no > Condition -> (null) yes [Rob] ok > Confirmation -> Conf maybe [Rob] No - ambiguous abbreviation for "configuration" > Attribute -> Attr maybe [Rob] no > NameQualifier -> Qualifier maybe [Rob] haven't decided. > Assertion -> Assn no?
