RE: [soa-rm] Thoughts on document title

Thanks Duane. I think the distinction that you made in your second sentence below is significant, and it's the clarification that I was seeking in my posting yesterday with the subject "When Is An SOA Really An SOA?[1]" (it doesn't answer the primary general question, but it helps to address the grey area that I saw between our RM and SOA itself). I would like to request that we make this very clear up front in our spec, perhaps in more detailed wording (I about about 80% clear on it now).

If it is in alignment with the definition in my email, then we have to
change the glossary. SOA as a RM should probably not be specifically
tied to a certain class of implementors such as enterprises or only
large companies.
