Subject: Re: [ws-caf-editors] Re: Latest revisions


Eric, I reviewed all your comments. They seem reasonable to me, but I'd 
like to talk about the addressing issue, since we need to be able to 
say/show something about how the ws reference model works. Does anyone 
have a proposal on how we can do this without using some example that 
relies on an addressing spec of some kind? The example that is in the 
text is normative only with respect to the open content model -- there 
is no normative statement as to what addressing scheme is used. Is this OK?

Also, bear in mind that if WS-Addressing goes to the W3C in September 
(and assuming the community converges on the work in the W3C) we can 
always change the spec to reflect this development. Is that 
satisfactory? The important point in my mind is that we need to nail 
down the specification of the open content model in the near term so we 
can move forward.

Also -- and perhaps most important -- do you have a time frame in which 
you can integrate your changes?

Greg
