Re: [soa-rm-ra] conformance and Architectural Implications

[Rex Brooks <rex.brooks@ncoic.org>]

I was not quite as stringent as Ken, and did not pay much attention to capitalization in the text outside of the Architectural Implications. However, I did compile a list of conformance type statements in the text of Section 4 and compared it against the AIs and added statements when I wasn't satisfied that the conformance statement was included in the AIs. So Section 4.1.4 had a lot of new conformance statements added, with less in 4.2.3, 4.3.6 and almost none in 4.4.3. I have attached only the Section 4 document. If the authors need it I can send them the compiled lists from the text.

Regardless, I was really surprised with how difficult this was, and I strongly suggest that the authors go over their AI sections with a fine tooth comb.

We really have NAILED down a specification here. It will be interesting to see what we will need to do to promote its adoption, given how tight it has turned out.

Cheers,
Rex

We agreed to approach conformance by making the Architectural Implications our conformance details and removing RFC2119 capitalization in other places.  In the attached, I highlight in cyan all uses of RFC2119 capitalization.  Per my assignment for the related action item, I revised wording as appropriate in Section 5 – sometimes just removing the capitalization – and added RFC2119 emphasis in the four section 5 AI subsections.  I expect the security section will get additions after Kevin adds his outlined text.

 

The overall question is whether revisions of this type will meet our conformance needs; then, the detailed question is whether the wording in each AI is sufficient for its material.
